"The "unique" selling point of the #OMN (Open Media Network) often gets lost because people focus too much on the technical side rather than the simple, fundamental idea at its core.

Online we can plant and grow collaborative Networks, coalitions that amplify shared goals and values through projects rooted in the #4opens: #OpenData, #OpenSource, #OpenStandards, and #OpenProcess.

The core #geek role here is tech and media, with the existing decentralised #Fediverse to challenge and change the centralised dominance of big tech #dotcons

What you talk about here is a truth, but the are issues:

* Yep, a diversity does, but #5W who what where when? Quantify this please.

* The #4opens is a simple retelling of the #FOSS story which has been running much of the code that keeps our society functioning, it's a thing, yes we do add #openprocess so we could talk about that?

* See the #4opens, this is complex and likely needs thought, which we have not done here or in general, maybe time for this?

* How would we hear these voices, where is the "governance" of this space so we can MAKE the assumptions you speak about visible.

*Safety culture is another subject, I talk about this in a few posts somewhere here https://hamishcampbell.com/?s=safety

* I don't know the guy but as you say #bluesky and #nostr both come from the crypto mess we have suffered from for the last 20 years.

* All the project are #4opens so "consent" is a social thing and works differently than we "common sense" think about these things, we do need to talk about this.

* No idea who the guy is, is he worth looking up?

I use the #4opens to do this as it's simply #foss development with #openprocess added on, a useful tool to get past what people say their projects are about. And what they are actually about https://unite.openworlds.info/Open-Media-Network/4opens we need tools like this to compost the piles of #techshit people keep creating, if we are to have soil to grow tech seeds of hope, like #Activertypub

https://socialwebfoundation.org/2024/09/24/launch/ Can we get a link to the #openprocess that brought this together please #4opens #openweb #fediverse just to get an idea how "native" it will be.

By adhering to #KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) principle, the #OMN provides a foundation for building genuinely open and participatory digital spaces. So, there it is, stripped down to its essence: the #OMN isn't just another tech project; it’s a framework for reclaiming our digital commons.

The #4opens framework provides a set of principles for testing, evaluating and promoting progressive social and tech projects. By adhering to these principles, people and communities support initiatives that prioritize openness, collaboration, and social good. Let's explore how each of the #4opens can be utilized.

Open Data: Open data is the foundation of transparency and accountability in tech projects. By making data freely accessible and usable by anyone, projects can foster innovation, collaboration, and democratic decision-making. Progressive social and tech initiatives can leverage #opendata to empower communities, address social inequalities, and advance public interest goals. For example, open data can be used to track government spending, monitor environmental pollution, or analyze social trends.
Open Source: Open source software is essential for fostering a healthy and vibrant tech ecosystem. By providing access to source code and encouraging collaborative development, #opensource projects can accelerate innovation, improve software quality, and promote digital autonomy. Progressive social and tech initiatives can utilize open source software to build tools and platforms that empower people and challenge corporate monopolies.
Open "Industrial" Standards: Open industrial standards are critical for ensuring interoperability and compatibility across diverse tech systems. By adhering to #openstandards, projects can avoid vendor lock-in, promote diversity, and facilitate innovation. Progressive social and tech initiatives can advocate for and adopt open standards to build decentralized, resilient, and inclusive tech infrastructures. For example, #openstandards for communication protocols can enable peer-to-peer networks and decentralized social media platforms.
Open Process: Open process refers to the transparent and participatory decision-making processes that govern tech projects. By involving stakeholders in project planning, development, and governance, open process fosters trust, accountability, and collective ownership. Progressive social and tech initiatives can embrace #openprocess by adopting democratic and inclusive decision-making structures, such as consensus-based decision-making or participatory budgeting. For example, open process can enable community-led initiatives, address social justice issues, and promote collective well-being.

In summary, the #4opens framework provides a roadmap for advancing progressive social and tech change and challenging the dominance of centralized, proprietary tech platforms. By prioritizing openness, collaboration, and social impact, individuals and communities can support initiatives that empower people to build a more equitable and democratic tech ecosystem.

A reply, not going to link to the original as this would be seen as trolling, and would not be kind anyway:

This is NOT what is happening, have you seen the hashtag #4opens there are two, #openprocess and #opendata in this all actions should happen in public (unless there is a good recsion not to - and this is the disagreement of this thried).

And #opendata all data should have a searchable history that can be used in a collective permissionless way, this does not work behind a login, so avoid posting as much as possible where users have to have an account, security level and login.

Am pointing out I understand you see this differently it’s a part of the spiky fluffy debate, the idea is to keep this open not try and close it. Please stop trying to do this, thanks.

This post here is a fail from #4opens so to fix this I transfer it (after basic anonymizing) back to the openweb where It’s supposed to be posted.

The boring part is having to keep asking to stop this behaver Legitimacy (political) - Wikipedia is a good question at this point. Please, what is the plan on this, this is a mod question I would like an answer to (5th time asked)

The project has been running for over ten years and operates with an #openprocess. Users can become mods after being involved for a period of time. The modding process is based on a clear project statement and encourages a respectful and inclusive community.

The #OMN is related to the #visionontv project, a grassroots media project that creates and distributes independent video content. The two projects share values and goals in promoting alternative media and challenging mainstream narratives.
