Hamish Campbell<p><strong>Compost the blocking, keep the seeds alive, and make space for growth</strong></p>
<p>It’s good to see more people turning their focus back to the #openweb. For the past five years of the #reboot we’ve been distracted in a signal-to-noise mess from the #fashionistas. That time needs to be over, we need to start looking clearly at both internal rot and the external threats.</p>
<p>A good first step is in balancing the realisation that we actually have far more direct power to deal with the internal mess than we do over the eternal #dotcons and their #closedweb “common sense”. […]</p>

#openweb vs #closedweb is the Battle for the Internet
It’s well past time to pick a side. For decades, the internet has been being enclosed. With most people's attention and thus freedom being in the hands of a #nastyfew people. The one's vast, decentralized network of commentary sites, blogs, forums has been corralled into a handful of paved prison yards controlled by the #dotcons. Every post, every 'friend,' every creative work is locked behind closed doors, and when push comes to shove as it is now, you will increasingly find that you […]https://hamishcampbell.com/openweb-vs-closedweb-is-the-battle-for-the-internet/

Clearly marking the difference between the #openweb and the #closedweb
The last decade has seen a rapid shift toward #mainstreaming, where the boundaries between open and closed have been intentionally blurred, is also mirrored in our alt paths. This #geekproblem confusion serves the interests of the #dotcons and the #deathcult, not the people. The language of the #hashtagstory sharpens this divide and give people the tools to see the reality of the paths they’re walking and engaging with. The #openweb, is built on the principles of the #4opens: open […]https://hamishcampbell.com/clearly-marking-the-difference-between-the-openweb-and-the-closedweb/

Would be good and useful to start using #closedweb and #openweb as markers for this to be clear there is a difference.

Web searches is a cesspit of algorithm-driven propaganda
The #dotcons have turned web searches into a cesspit of algorithm-driven propaganda. What was a tool for discovery and connection is now a tightly controlled funnel, pushing people towards preordained narratives and commercialized echo chambers. Nowhere is this more obvious than on Google, the go-to gatekeeper of information, where what you find is shaped not by the richness of human knowledge, but by whatever serves the interests of those with power and capital. This isn't just an […]https://hamishcampbell.com/web-searches-is-a-cesspit-of-algorithm-driven-propaganda/

Composting the Mess to Make Room to Plant
In the swirling chaos of the digital landscape, it's easy to feel lost. The #Fediverse, should be a beacon of hope for a decentralized, community-driven internet, but as always is facing an onslaught of push back and pressures from every direction. The #dotcons loom large, #NGO agendas quietly co-opt grassroots energy, and the #encryptionists lash out with SPAM money to drown out critique. It’s messy, but mess is where compost comes from, and compost is where new life grows. Pick up a […]https://hamishcampbell.com/composting-the-mess-to-make-room-to-plant/

@DavidBHimself we need a tool like the #4opens to judge this. To make native and non-native visible to #mainstreaming people and some of our own #geekproblem who push #closedweb over the #openweb
