People need to think about moving of this instance #modteam

It takes little money to run the #OMN as everyone is doing the work because they think it's impotent as a social tech project.
But it does cost some money https://opencollective.com/open-media-network/updates/we-currently-run-around-10-openweb-sites-based-on-the-4opens
We have already shut down the search and the chat instances due to lake of funds.
Be the change, fund the alternative, please https://opencollective.com/open-media-network/projects

#modteam this instance will be shutting down in a month due to no funding coming in from donations. The has been a year of messaging on this, it's finally time to shut the instance down https://opencollective.com/open-media-network/contribute
Social change is a social thing #DIY is never free, but yes it's low cost.

The undeclared war on #4opens is becoming "common sense" on the #fediverse with the shift to #mainstreaming this is back to the mess we were stepping away from with our #openweb reboot.

#OGB is focusing on #4opens work flows https://visionon.tv/w/7KgwEmxP3e1Jztktviyj1c if we get it coded, we have a democratic layer to #FOSS and grassroots #DIY governance in general. We desperately need to step away from #fudalisam of our current tech.

#owencast is designed as a broadcast setup one to meany rather then peer to peer, meany to meany.
Most of our tech has this #stupidindividualism hard-coded from 40 years worshipping the #deathcult
Don't take this wrong, it's a balance, that we need to push. It's not a black and white fight.

2023-08-20 11:06:47

#APconf Shouldn't we livestream our conversation on #OwnCast instead? 😁
2. Who or what is this not for?
Owncast is not for video conferencing or any use case where multiple people are wanting to see video of each other. It’s also not a good choice if you have tight real-time requirements as HLS video has inherent delays.
#BBB is a good choice and is #4opens yes we do have to do manual posting of #AP not a big issue. Maybe we can ask #FOSShost Agen?

The pay conf is in not connected to #socialhub it's a #NGO type thing from the #twittermigration crew - they came in with the pay mindset and are not going to move away from this ongoing. It's a culture shift, coming from ActivityPub #mainstreaming

@npub1xxn…qa8v this is a bad path to start down. Best not to step away from the #4opens and the native #openprocess flow built into our #FOSS traditions.

#modteam this instance is costing : $39.00/month we don't get in a fraction of this from here https://opencollective.com/open-media-network this is completely unsuitable. Please put in a monthly donation to keep the #OMN instances online, thanks.

@npub16uq…mg89 we need a #DIY crew to develop the #OGB project. If you can find and understand the info you might be a right person for this ;)

2023-08-08 11:34:05

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.

2023-08-08 11:32:59

The #OMN (Open Media Network), is a decentralized network of media sites that share content and promote independent media. To provide an alternative to #mainstreaming media by creating a network of interconnected sites that prioritize openness, collaboration, and decentralization.
The importance of grassroots community-driven media, where people and groups can create and share their own content. To challenge the dominance of #mainstreaming media and promote a more equitable and just society.

@npub1ack…8qzd yes we need to build out in parrale and bridge the approaches.

2023-08-08 11:23:10

The #indymediaback project recognizes the importance of hashtags and semantic web technologies, which were not core to the original Indymedia project. Tags and metadata are being used to help organize and categorize content.
Overall, the #indymediaback project aims to revive the spirit of open media and grassroots activism, while learning from past mistakes and embracing new technologies and approaches.

2023-08-08 11:22:54

#indymediaback reboot is a return to the path of the #fashernitas, emphasizes open media and decentralized structures, rather than control and centralization. The aim to build an open media network (#OMN) that promotes direct democracy, open publishing.
The reboot acknowledges the risk of another split within the community, if some members push for a control/encryptionist path. The challenge is to find a way to navigate this without succumbing to tribalism and power politics.

2023-08-08 11:21:20

The #indymediaback project is a reboot of the original #Indymedia project, which was a decentralized, grassroots media network that emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The project aims to learn from the mistakes and challenges faced by the original Indymedia, particularly the split between the #fashernitas and #geekproblem factions.

2023-08-08 11:15:08

The #OGB is important to develop better ways of having "trust" based conversations and "trust" based "governance" in the #openweb. It is built on years of on-the-ground organizing and emphasizes the need for voluntary cooperation and collaboration. The project recognizes the problems in alternative tech, starting with the #4opens to remove complexity to building governance structures that are native to the #fediverse. The #OGB address the limitations of #mainstreaming approaches.

2023-08-08 08:44:20

#Lemmy and #kbin are clones of #Reddit, a libertarian individualist codebase built to feed from our "communities". In this Lemmy etc are good #4opens step away from the #dotcons but not radical left project beyond this first needed step.
#indymediaback #OGB #OMN #makeinghistory are projects building to stride away from the current mess.

2023-08-06 18:24:52

#mastodon the codebase is a monarchy - this is a common fail of #FOSS projects governance, we do need to do better #OGB
It's hard to see why we can't move this beyond mess, it's a #geekproblem

@npub10av…r788 common sense is now the illness of 40 years of worshiping the #deathcult so they is little "sense" left.

We self-host nearly 3000 videos on our server http://visionon.tv, and you can watch over, 8000 more federated videos on activism and technology. Self-hosting cast real money which we don't have to if you would like to support this #DIY #openweb then set up a recurring donation here https://opencollective.com/open-media-network to keep his space #OMN available for people to step away from the #dotcons mess we are all in.
