#OMN (Open Media Network)<p><strong>The #Open Path vs The #Closed Path – Why Simplicity Matters</strong></p> The #mainstreaming success of #Bluesky means we have a crew who keep pushing the idea of creating a "native" #AP federated codebase/platform that captures its simplicity and ease of use. The problem they focus on is complexity vs. accessibility, the #open path is inherently more complex than the #closed path, and that’s a good thing in an open society. It allows for diversity, resilience, and decentralization. But in a closed society (which is what we’re working with), complexity […] <p><a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/the-open-path-vs-the-closed-path-why-simplicity-matters/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hamishcampbell.com/the-open-pa</span><span class="invisible">th-vs-the-closed-path-why-simplicity-matters/</span></a></p>
#OMN (Open Media Network)<p>The metaphor of composting the mess to seed radical movements is an evocative one, emphasizing the importance of turning waste and negativity into something productive. It aligns with the path of movements growing from rich, grounded beginnings, rather than from the toxic, divisive environment that emerges with negativity spreading unchecked.</p><p>The use of these hashtags helps to frame the broader narrative, adding depth to the conversation about the failings of the digital world and how to move beyond them.

The compost represents the ideas, collaboration, and foundational work that allow movements to grow organically.</li><li> Spreading shit, a metaphor about how we are distracted by “spreading shit on each other,” negativity, conflict, and infighting hampers collective efforts. While conflict and criticism are part of human interaction, too much negativity leads to a foul atmosphere, where movements struggle to grow.</li><li>Composting the shit, is from the phrase “shit is good for compost”, that negative experiences, bad ideas, and even failures can be turned into useful lessons, helping to enrich the soil for future movements. Rather than discarding everything, the key is to transform the bad into something productive. </li><li>Tools for change, the shovel, symbolize practical action. You need real tools (both literally and metaphorically) to work the compost, to nurture change, and to dig into the mess. Tools like openness, transparency, and collaboration are vital to making the compost to actually lead to growth.<p>The <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/hashtags/" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/hashtags/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Hashtags</a> are anchors, a way of framing complex social, political, and technological issues into digestible themes.
