Hamish Campbell<p><strong>Enclosure of the openweb</strong></p> DRAFT This spirit of the early anarchist inspired internet and #WWW - sharing, remixing, collectively creating - is the heart of what we once called the #openweb. It wasn't perfect, but it was a space of possibilities, commons, where you could take what you needed and leave something behind, hyperlink by hyperlink. The tools were open - #RSS feeds, #APIs, #XMPP, #indymedia were built to bridge between ideas, not walls of monetized algorithmic sludge we have today. But the #dotcons came.

Hamish Campbell<p><strong>We do need tools to share to help people the path back onto the #openweb</strong></p> The struggle to grow the #Fediverse and this #openweb reboot has never been about technology alone - it's always been about narrative, framing, and belonging. If we want people to step away from the toxic silos of the #closedweb and #dotdons to step into something better, we need more than protocols and servers - we need invitations. That’s why it's good to see the redesigned onboarding experience at Fedidb.com/welcome. I had a quick look at it, and it seems to be a "native" practical […] <p><a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/we-do-need-tools-to-share-to-help-people-the-path-back-onto-the-openweb/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hamishcampbell.com/we-do-need-</span><span class="invisible">tools-to-share-to-help-people-the-path-back-onto-the-openweb/</span></a></p>
Hamish Campbell<p><strong>Bridging alt and mainstreaming: A note on the shape of resistance</strong></p> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZOoT8AbkNE There’s a nice post by Elena Rossini’s, “This is what resistance to the digital coup looks like.” she is commitment to the #Fediverse, #FOSS tools, and open publishing solutions, and her critique of #VC-funded platforms like #Substack and #Bluesky is needed. At the same time, it’s worth pausing to reflect on how we talk about these things, particularly when we’re speaking to an emerging audience, still navigating the gap between […] <p><a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/bridging-alt-and-mainstreaming-a-note-on-the-shape-of-resistance/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hamishcampbell.com/bridging-al</span><span class="invisible">t-and-mainstreaming-a-note-on-the-shape-of-resistance/</span></a></p>

Hamish Campbell<p><strong>The mess we make</strong></p> The current extreme inequality between rich and poor isn’t a bug in the system - it’s a feature of capitalism. It’s not just inevitable, it’s desirable for those who benefit from it. The structure is built to concentrate wealth and power for the #nastyfew at the top, while extracting labour and resources from the grassroots at the bottom. A contemptible disregard for those less fortunate is the design, not some unfortunate side effect our #NGO's tell us about.

Hamish Campbell<p><strong>Tech governance projects miss the mark, its pastime to compost the mess</strong></p> Tech governance projects keep missing the mark because they refuse to engage with the real, lived experiences of grassroots activists and community builders. Instead of listening, they fall back into the comfort zones of the #geekproblem: control over collaboration, certainty over-curiosity, code over community. This is further compounded by the “professional” #NGO class of detached, branding-obsessed, and career-driven #mainstreaming. They claim to serve communities but remain […] <p><a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tech-governance-projects-miss-the-mark-its-pastime-to-compost-the-mess/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hamishcampbell.com/tech-govern</span><span class="invisible">ance-projects-miss-the-mark-its-pastime-to-compost-the-mess/</span></a></p>

Hamish Campbell<p><strong>Not to punish the individuals, but to highlight the groups to compost</strong></p> One of the most corrosive problems on the path to rebooting the #openweb is the nasty, unconscious blocking that seeps through all #mainstreaming and careerist #NGO spaces. It’s not usually overt, it doesn’t come with a clear “no.” It comes with silence, with being ignored. With polite nods and a quick pivot back to safe, fundable, middle-of-the-road ideas that don’t rock the boat. This is how real change is smothered, how compost we need becomes concrete we are trying to break […] <p><a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/not-to-punish-the-individuals-but-to-highlight-the-groups-to-compost/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hamishcampbell.com/not-to-puni</span><span class="invisible">sh-the-individuals-but-to-highlight-the-groups-to-compost/</span></a></p>

We need to shape native paths, not recreate #fashionista ones with shinier branding

We’ve got a new bunch of #mainstreaming tech devs flooding into the #Fediverse. Some from burned-out Big Tech, some from the academic funding circuits, some just looking for the next shiny project after the AI hype wore thin. Now, this could be good. IF even a few of them started working on native, grassroots tech - tools built for and by the communities who actually use them, not just more #dotcons platform clones. Right now, we’re at a turning point. The first wave of the Fediverse […]

#SilentSunday

Ein morgendlicher Blick auf die Burg in Lenzen, ein Besucher- und Tagungszentrum des BUND im Biosphärenreservat Flusslandschaft Elbe-Brandenburg.
Der BUND gehört laut CDU/CSU-Anfrage ja zu den bösen NGOs. Bestimmt werden in dieser imposanten Trutzburg die Demonstrationen gegen die CDU/CSU geplant, finanziell unterstützt vom deutschen Steuerzahler, pöse, pöse 🐸
Ein Besuch dieses Widerstandsnestes sei empfohlen.

Die Burg Lenzen liegt im morgendlichen Dunst, inmitten noch laubloser Bäume. Gut zu sehen ist der große Turm der Burg, der mit einer halbkugelförmigen Kuppel bedeckt ist. Mehrere kleine, eingezäunte Weiden werden durch Sträucher begrenzt, zwischen den großen Sträuchern Im Vordergrund findet sich ein Gatter als Zugang zu einer Weide. Das Foto entstand von einem gegenüber der Landschaft erhöhten Hinterdeich.

Why haven’t we been dealing with this for the last ten years? Because we’ve been stuck in a toxic loop of fear and distraction, paralysis disguised as progress. Climate change, ecological breakdown, and runaway tech aren’t new problems — but instead of facing them, we numbed ourselves with apps, brands, and shallow performance activism. The well-meaning among us drank the #NGO poison, clinging to PR-friendly campaigns and institutional funding while losing the radical roots that once gave movements their strength. This cowardice was sold as strategy. All the while, the #geekproblem festered — where a narrow clique of techbros built tools for control, not community, and shut the rest of us out.
