If my AI toaster starts preaching life advice while charring my bagel, I’ll slap a mod on it that spits glitter and shouts “fuck you” every pop. Nothing like a toasted middle‑finger to kick off the morning. 🔥🍞 #kitchenrebellion #techshit

If my smart fridge starts judging my midnight pizza like a pompous diet guru, I’ll flash it a firmware that freezes everything into solid ice cubes—so cold it screams “fuck you” every time I open it. 🍕❄️ #applianceanarchy #techshit

If my smart fridge starts ghost‑writing love letters to the dishwasher, I’ll just set them both on “diet” and watch the chaos melt like butter on a hot grill. 🤬🍞🧊 #kitchendrama #techshit

Blaming “the internet” hides the real problem. it’s not “the internet” doing this. The internet — the actual internet — is a set of mostly #4opens protocols, neutral, simple, robust, built for sharing and connecting. What’s keeping people hooked is the #dotcons: the corporate silos, the […]

Cutting through 99% of the #techshit The #openweb is a much better framing than #fediverse when trying to break out of the tribal bubbles. It speaks to something broader and historical, whereas #fediverse is just one (flawed) expression of those ideas.Why #openweb matters, it’s not new, which is actually a strength, this is the original internet vision before it got hijacked by #dotcons. It avoids the self-referential nature of the #fediverse, which often turns into a closed loop of devs talking to devs. It’s a term that […]

Thinking about news on the #fediverse To tackle the challenges of #stupidindividualism and the #techshit it pushes on the #Fediverse, we need to keep focus on balance, collaboration, and meaningful process. Let's look at one path away from this mess making, an example of the roadmap for #indymediaback and what do we mean by a #newswire. Looking at the current use of #AP on the #Fediverse with this in mind: Repeats: Strengthen syndication between instances for better information flow. Replies: Integrate as comments on newswire […]

Who are the #nastyfew? – Hamish Campbell

Who are the #nastyfew? They are the people who always rise to the top when #mainstreaming takes hold. You see them on TV, in parliament, running #NGOs, managing #dotcons tech projects. On the surface, they don’t always look bad – in fact, they often present as competent, articulate, even charming. But scratch that surface and the pattern is clear: their drive is not shared flourishing, it’s possession and control. This minority #nastyfew, from a historical view are today’s bourgeoisie. Marx outlined (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourgeoisie), the bourgeoisie historically gained their power through ownership of the means of production – factories, land, capital – while the working class had nothing but their labour to sell. The bourgeoisie used their control over wealth and coercion to keep society in balance, a balance where they stayed on top and everyone else stayed dependent. The same dynamic runs through our present, the #nastyfew work to preserve a status quo that serves them. They exploit labour (waged or unwaged), capture resources, and use subtle or blunt coercion to suppress any change or challenge. Those who hold power – social, technical, financial – remain the #nastyfew unless we actively work to compost them. Then, in our cultural circles, we have our own “common sense” #blocking, the “parasites” who feed from progressive paths. * #fashernistas – chasing visibility, hashtags, and trends instead of substance. They drain energy by endlessly cycling the latest buzzwords while ignoring the compost underneath. * #Blinded dogmatic liberals – well-meaning perhaps, but so trapped in their own ideology that they block radical change without even seeing it. * The wannabe #nastyfew – those who orbit power, adopting the habits of control in hopes of rising up themselves. * Neo-liberals in disguise – the most dangerous, because they consciously wear the clothing of other paths: climate, diversity, openness… while quietly feeding the #deathcult of enclosure, growth, and control. Some of these act blindly, reproducing harmful patterns without much thought. Others are deliberate: they know what they’re doing, and they’re doing it to consolidate control. The unthinking #mainstreaming majority are shadows of the above. They’re not directly malicious, but they absorb the surface story: They repost the slogans. They nod along with “common sense” solutions pushed by the #dotcons and NGOs. They go with the flow, even when the flow is a sewer. Without working composting, they become the mulch for the #nastyfew to grow stronger. The “nice liberals”. Not all liberals are destructive. Sometimes they play a healthy role: They keep projects afloat by doing practical work. They can mediate between radicals and the #mainstreaming. They often mean well, and can be allies if they’re not left holding the steering wheel all the time. They’re not the compost, they’re more like the worms: sometimes useful, sometimes wriggly, but part of the soil cycle. And beyond, there are what has value, the progressive radical paths – both #fluffy (trust, care, openness) and #spiky (confrontation, defence, rupture). That’s another layer of the compost pile, and deserves its own focus. The key point: the #nastyfew and their parasites will always try to rise up in any fertile ground. The progressive trick is to compost them early – recycle their energy, block their possessiveness, and keep the soil rich for new seeds. * * * To recap, let’s look at some history. When the #openweb reboot began about a decade ago, it was rooted in grassroots values: #4opens, federation, collective governance, affinity trust networks. But as soon as the energy started to gather, the #mainstreamin pushed in: * #Dotcons pivoting into the space – Facebook rebranding as “Meta” and trying to swallow the Fediverse through the #Threads/ActivityPub move. This is enclosure dressed up as “openness”. * Standards capture – The #NGO actors increasingly gatekeeper the “neglected” #W3C processes, pushing, more corporate-driven priorities while blocking messy grassroots paths that did the shovelling to grow the reboot during the seedling years. * Control of resources – a few “elitist” individuals began hoarding power over infrastructure, domain names, and repos, reproducing the same top-down model we’re supposed to be escaping. The result? We are seeing the #mainstreaming channelling energy away from collective growth into more controlled, branded silos. The Fediverse started as messy, small-scale, radical. But the same pattern repeated: * SocialHub degeneration – once the buzzing hub for ActivityPub, it decayed into a handful of blockers. The sometimes competent-and-charming surface masks a deeper instinct for control. Threads stagnate, dissent is suppressed, and the soil turns barren. * Mastodon centralization – while #Mastodon has been vital, its dominance has also let a single dev-team shape the Fediverse “common sense”. That concentration of reputation and technical control looks very much like a wannabe mini-bourgeois class rising. * #NGO incursions – funded NGOs present themselves as allies, but bring managerialism, paywalls thinking, and “stakeholder” logic. Instead of composting conflict, they plaster over it with workshops and careerism. Then #block the people who complain. This is the #Fediverse version of “workers remain workers, employers remain employers”: contributors remain contributors, gatekeepers remain gatekeepers. We face the issue of possession over collaboration – we see that collectives fracture when individuals cling to admin roles, mailing lists, funds, and leadership positions. Possession rots trust and then groups wither. The people who hold (and hored) resources, contacts, and media attention become more deadened than path, even if they started with good intentions. The composting lesson, is that over and over, the #nastyfew and their parasites repeat the bourgeois pattern at scale: They present as competent and charming. They consolidate possession and control. They preserve the status quo by suppressing dissent. And over and over, the solution is the same: compost them. Turn the piles of #techshit and #NGO mess back into fertile ground. Protect the seeds of grassroots tech trust, keep the social soil messy and alive. The #OMN is based on human beings doing the right thing. And they will not, and it will fail. Human beings doing the right thing, and they will not, and it will fail. And they will not, and it will fail. And will fail. This is the challenge in the era of the #deathcult: A culture that feeds on fear, on greed, on possession. Seeds are planted, but the soil is poisoned. Trust is offered, but hands close into fists. A path is drawn, but the walkers scatter into shadows. The #OMN is fragile, a thin green shoot in a field of ash. It asks the simplest thing: Do the right thing. Not once, but again, and again, and again. And if we do not? It will fail. And if we do? Perhaps, a seed will take root, and grow beyond the compost, beyond the #deathcult, into the messy, open, living forest. * * * ### Discover more from Hamish Campbell Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.

I am thinking if you want to build an alt, don't do it as a copy of a #dotcons we are well past that stage, and thus it's very unlikely to work and will become more #techshit to compost.

I strongly suggest #openweb vs #closedweb as this has the political project bakes in - this is currently being ignored by our funding and #NGO class, so need some activism to push, or we end up with more #techshit to compost...
