Hamish Campbell<p><strong>Signal, Noise, and the Mess of #Mainstreaming</strong></p>
<p>“Because controversy equals attention and attention equals brand recognition.” LINK</p>
<p>Yes. An interesting thread on advertising. But let’s add to this view in other paths:</p>
<p>Mainstreaming controversy = attention.</p>
<p>Alt controversy = #blocking, by ignoring.</p>
<p>It’s not about real disagreement or dynamic ideas. It’s about channelling noise that flatters the existing structures and silences anything genuinely alternative. This isn’t controversy, it’s signal-to-noise warfare. And right […]</p>

Hamish Campbell<p><strong>Why #NGO and fluffy #openweb tech events should include radical real grassroots projects</strong></p>
<p>If you need a working definition of the #geekproblem, it’s the habit, no, the reflex, of putting the social side of tech outside of tech. It’s the behaviour of someone sticking their head in the sand and mumbling, “That’s not my department.”It’s “I just write the code.”It’s “We’re neutral tools.”It’s “Let’s keep politics out of it.”</p>
<p>This isn’t just naivety, it’s a deep, culturally reinforced avoidance of responsibility. And it’s one of the key reasons why even […]</p>

Hamish Campbell<p><strong>First step: Stop being a prat</strong></p>
<p>We have strong passive #blocking forces stopping the real change and challenge we need before we have any hope of changing the world, thus we as a community have to change our stance towards this blocking. And the first step – the most important one – is painfully simple: Stop being a prat.</p>
<p>That means:</p>
<p>Stop pretending you don’t understand the stakes. </p>
<p>Stop making perfect the enemy of good.</p>
<p>Stop whining about how broken things are while refusing to touch the tools that exist.</p>
<p>Stop […]</p>

And it has never been only Mastodon. It was neither invented by Eugen Rochko nor exclusively for purist microblogging.<br><br>For example, there is also Friendica (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/Friendica" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/Friendica</a>, <a href="https://friendi.ca" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://friendi.ca</a>, <a href="https://github.com/friendica" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/friendica</a>, <a href="https://joinfediverse.wiki/Friendica" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://joinfediverse.wiki/Friendica</a>). It was launched in July, 2010, 15 years ago, five and a half years before Mastodon. It is Facebook-like, but designed to be better than Facebook rather than an all-out clone and to be fully capable of long-form blogging. It has a character limit of 200,000, its culture does not enforce brevity, and it staunchly refuses to ditch its own culture and adopt Mastodon's culture instead. It can also do other things that don't belong into purist microblogging such as <strong>bold type</strong>, <em>italics</em>, <u>underlines</u>, bullet-point lists and multiple levels of headlines.<br><br>Here are lists of Friendica nodes for you to block:<br><ul><li><a href="https://friendica.fediverse.observer/list" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://friendica.fediverse.observer/list</a></li><li><a href="https://fedidb.com/software/friendica" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://fedidb.com/software/friendica</a></li><li><a href="https://rumbly.net/communities?project=friendica" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://rumbly.net/communities?project=friendica</a></li><li><a href="https://nomad.fedi-verse.hu/communities?project=friendica" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://nomad.fedi-verse.hu/communities?project=friendica</a></li><li><a href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/communities?project=friendica" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://streams.elsmussols.net/communities?project=friendica</a></li></ul><br>Then there is Hubzilla (<a href="https://hubzilla.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://hubzilla.org</a>, <a href="https://framagit.org/hubzilla" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://framagit.org/hubzilla</a>, <a href="https://joinfediverse.wiki/Hubzilla" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://joinfediverse.wiki/Hubzilla</a>), first launched in March, 2015, ten years ago, ten months before Mastodon.

Hamish Campbell<p><strong>When we block thinking, it’s pratish #dotcons behaviour</strong></p>
<p>We’re living through a cultural shift. The #Fediverse, the #openweb, and grassroots tech projects like #OMN were born to challenge the values of the corporate web, not to reproduce them.But what are we doing instead?</p>
<p>We’re seeing people attacked simply for linking to context and history. Linking is native to the open web. Attacking people for linking? That’s native to #dotcons. Take this example: When we post links to hamishcampbell.com, a site with over 20 years of radical media […]</p>

KrisMaybe it's time to get some blocking mats? 🤔 <br>
Sultan cotton poncho FINALLY finished and wet blocking over night. Really happy with the length and the colour distribution. This took one whole sultan kings cake, plus cirka another ¼-⅓ of the second cake. I know a lot of people hate working with yarn that splits but honestly yall, the way this fabric feels on my skin and how good it drapes it worthhh itttt. <br>
