We use hashtags as scaffolding for the needed social truth, not as slogans, but as scaffolding, lightweight markers that point to recurring structural issues: #geekproblem #fashernista #dotcons #blocking are not insults. They are shorthand for patterns that otherwise take pages to explain. But […]

Finally, make the most of my attention, I’ll be blunt, you don’t have my attention for long – #OMN (Open Media Network)

Brilliant ideas, sometimes beautiful tech, all eventually collapse under the weight of poor social foundations, bad governance, and chasing #geekproblem dreams and #fashionista paths that have nothing to do with real people’s needs hamishcampbell.com/finally-make...

If you need a definition of the #geekproblem its putting the social side of tech outside of tech. It's the beaver of child putting is head in the sand and saying I can't hear you.

And this is strong #mainstreming #blocking of any working alt paths in tech. It's a problem, a#eekproblem that we […]

Addressing the #geekproblem A river that needs crossing political and tech – On the political side, there is arrogance and ignorance, on the geek side there is naivety and over complexity. All code is ideology solidified into action – most contemporary code is capitalism, this is hardly a surprise if you think about this for a moment. Yes you can try and act on any ideology on top of this code, but the outcome and assumptions are preprogramed… cant find any good links on this… As a useful path, we need to […]

If you are a part of this #geekproblem then it is worth taking a step back to consider how our current coding practices shaped by society and liberalism affect both society and ecology in this blind worship. Addressing the #geekproblem https://hamishcampbell.com/addressing-the-geekproblem/

The Open Society and its Media (Mark S. Miller at GMU, 1991?) The video is bad quality VHS, but worth your time to see a progressive #openweb native capitalism, and to find grounding for post-capitalist with the #OMN project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-t405_JAJA Mark S. Miller’s presentation on the Xanadu Hypertext System at George Mason University (GMU) in the early '90s is good to reference when discussing the #OMN (Open Media Network). The ideas explored then were ahead of their time, but the web ultimately took a worse/better path—a […]

A guest post – The Mess of the Current #OpenWeb Path: A User’s Experience Setting up a #Mastodon account to move away from supremacist platforms like #Twitter, #Threads, #Bluesky, and #LinkedIn felt like the right step. But almost immediately, I ran into one of the core failures of the so-called #openweb—drastic post length limits, artificial restrictions, and a general lack of usability. At first glance, Mastodon appears no different from the mainstream platforms it’s supposed to replace. With the post lengths, why are we still replicating big tech models? But that’s only partially true. Some Mastodon instances do allow longer posts, and the broader #Fediverse is full of different options, many of which are free from the limits imposed by inherited #mainstreaming culture. The issue isn’t Mastodon itself, but how fragmented and confusing the experience still is. The #Geekproblem strikes again, a quick dive into the openweb landscape reveals the same story: * Messy, inconsistent user experiences * Endless debate over technical details while real users struggle * A lack of funding or structured support for meaningful improvements * This fragmentation preventing mass adoption All the noise about “fixing” this is just noise. Yes, the #openweb path exists and works, but it’s underfunded, unsupported, and often overshadowed by corporate-backed alternatives. A Familiar Failure that is both frustrating and predictable, this is a view of these struggles from an outside perspective. We still have a chaotic landscape where even well-intentioned users find themselves frustrated and giving up. The open web won’t succeed just by existing, it needs to work. Right now, for too many people, it doesn’t.

The #mainstreaming influx is a HUGE distraction to our #fashernista and #geekproblem people, and this is leading to a fuckup on usability hamishcampbell.com/a-guest-post-the-mess-of...

The #GeekProblem: Why Open Development Is Stuck in a Dead End hamishcampbell.com/the-geekprob... This is why open projects fail. They mimic the structures of the #dotcons without the resources to sustain them. They chase security and rigidity at the expense of usability and social flow.

@elazar have tried a few times to make this socially easier over the last 20 years. Each time has been a compleat fail, it's a #geekproblem that is hard if not currently impossible to fix at the moment, we need fresh ideas and paths.

The real outsiders are the ones who see what’s coming and refuse to play along. The ones who step away from the herd and start building alternatives.

That’s what the #OMN is about—a space for those who refuse to march toward disaster.

I kinda notice that most people I talk to are insane on the internet, this is not just an online issue, you find the same offline.

After 40 years of worshipping a #deathcult #stupidindividualism and our tech built by the #geekproblem this is not a surprise.

Finding sanity is a question I put […]
