#4opens
@are0h the Fediverse has a long history, then there are spoiler protocols like Bluesky and nostor, which are native but also meto projects. Which is fine but good to focus on the native history rather than the offshoots of this, yes it's all #openweb and #4opens but focus matters.

it's a interesting conversation if we can avoid the trolling :)

@fromjason yep this original #4opens path is NOT comparable with the #encryptionist pushing, the #dotcons common sense we are all too blinded and dogmatic to today.
It's a mess we do need to compost.
Judge projects by the #4opens then by #PGA hallmarks is a good first step hamishcampbell.com/judge-projec... PS. and YES before you comment it’s a balance not one or the other.

"Open source licensing permits continued operation of the software with an EU provider."
That’s technically true, but in practice, how many such transitions actually happen? How many of these tools become hollowed-out ghost projects after the buyout? We need the EU to fund #4opens #FOSS and commons-native projects directly, not startups chasing exit strategies.
My thought is that is well not messy enough to work in real life :)
"if you already have experience in operating commons, you or your organisation will probably have specific practices that are more appropriate to your context."
A long history and practice in the #4opens and yes gaps - but focus - it is designed to push out 95% of the #techshit the rest we have to discuss, compromise and work with
Tools are only useful if people use them, this is the current problem.
try the #4opens as a step on this path https://unite.openworlds.info/Open-Media-Network/4opens

The website http://hamishcampbell.com serves as a platform for grassroots activism, open technology, and social change. The site promotes the Open Media Network (#OMN), a transformative model aimed at creating decentralized, cooperative media spaces that prioritize community-driven content over corporate or #NGO control. It emphasizes open-source principles, collective action, and resistance to #neoliberalism and #stupidindividualism. The site also has reflections on social issues like climate change, inequality, alongside advocacy for preserving natural spaces. The primary focus is on his social and technological initiatives, such as the #4opens framework and critiques of mainstream #dotcons digital platforms.
@seanbala @cubicgarden @_elena
it's not a hot take what ever that is - it's a long history (you can see on the site linked)
The post you talk about is a mashup of two replies on mastodon. They fit together, so put them into one post and expanded them a bit to add to the story flow.
The story is that it's time to DRAW a line, as this is already happening, so the useful part is to make this LINE drawing very visible, so people can think about line drawing.
This toot is a seed of another post I can feel sprouting, it's a #4opens flow.
Have they poked some holes in the paywall for native #openweb folks, or is it still on the path to be a #NGO chatting class event?
We do need gatherings, we used to do VERY good ones for #Fediverse organising, would be good to get back to this focus, can these guys be a part of this #4opens path do you think?
If you need to understand mess - have a look at the mess making here https://fosstodon.org/@Anachron/114420616122585644 how can we see the signal from the noise in this flow?
What is native to the #openweb
You could creatively use a tool like the #4opens maybe? But likely need more than this - what is the more that we need to compost mess?
