Not only was Trump intimately close to Jeffrey Epstein, but there is a wealth of reporting tying the billionaire pedophile to intelligence circles. Trump is once again protecting the elites he claimed he would fight on the campaign trail.

Meta is trying to win the AI race with money — but not everyone can be bought

The AI industry is full of people motivated by a true belief in what they’re doing, but Meta is betting that at a certain price, anyone can be bought — it’s casting its net across Silicon Valley to do it.

In #Mastodon 4.4 they've added the horrible popup window from #Bluesky when you try to click on a #hashtag.

If I wanted to do something weird with the hashtag, I'd right click it. Now I need to make an extra click every single time I just want to view the posts. It's one of the worst features of Bluesky, and they've added it into Mastodon.

It doesn't even do anything useful like tell you if you're following the hashtag.

Every time they update the Mastodon UI they make it worse.

A conversation about ideology, sociology, and the #openweb. What should be closed? And what should never be? hamishcampbell.com/what-should…

#OMN (Open Media Network)

What should be closed? And what should never be?

A conversation about ideology, sociology, and the #openweb. Let’s start with a basic liberal framework:
“Most social interactions should happen in the open. Some personal interactions should remain private.”
Seems reasonable, right? That’s the position many of us think we agree on. Yet when we look at how our technology, and by extension, our society, is being built, that balance is totally out of whack. Today, more and more of life is CLOSED:
Closed apps.Closed data.Closed social groups.Closed algorithms.Closed hardware.Closed governance.
And on the flip side, the things that should be protected, our intimate conversations, our location, our health data, are often wide open to surveillance capitalism and state control. What the current “common sense” dogma gets wrong? What is missing is the idea that mainstream tech culture, privacy absolutists, and many crypto/anarchist types:
Almost all good social power comes from OPEN.Most social evils take root in CLOSED spaces.
When people organize together in the open, they create commons, accountability, and momentum. They make movements. When decisions are made behind closed doors, they breed conspiracy, hierarchy, abuse, and alienation.

It’s not just about what is open or closed, it’s about who controls the boundary, and what happens on each side. If we close everything… If we follow the logic of total lockdown, of defaulting to encryption, of mistrust-by-design… then what we’re left with is only the closed.

This leads to a brutal truth, the powers that dominate in closed systems are rarely the good ones.
Secrecy benefits the powerful far more than the powerless. Always has.

So when we let the #openweb collapse, or treat it as naive, we’re not protecting ourselves. We’re giving up the last space where power might be accountable, where ideas might circulate freely, where we might build something together.
⚖️ Examples: When openness was lost

Let’s talk about a real-world case of #Diaspora vs. #RSS. 15 years ago, Diaspora emerged with crypto-anarchist hype as the alternative to Facebook. It was secure, decentralized, and… mostly closed. It emphasized encryption and privacy, but lacked network effects, openness, and simple flows of information.

In the same era, we already had #RSS, a beautifully open, decentralized protocol. It powered blogs, podcasts, news aggregators, without permission or centralized control.

But the “Young #fashionistas ” of the scene shouted down RSS as old, irrelevant, and too “open.” They wanted to start fresh, with new protocols, new silos, new power. They abandoned the working #openweb to build “secure” ghost towns.

Fast-forward a decade, and now we’re rebuilding in the Fediverse with RSS+ as #ActivityPub. The same functionality. The same ideals, just more code and more complexity. That 10-year gap is the damage caused by the #geekproblem, the failure to build with the past, and for real people.

So what is the #geekproblem? At root, it’s a worldview issue. A failure to think about human beings in real social contexts. Geeks (broadly speaking) assume:

• People are adversaries or threats (thus: encrypt everything),
• Centralization is evil, but decentralization is always pure (thus: build silos of one),
• Social complexity can be reduced to elegant protocols (thus: design first, use later).
• But technology isn’t neutral. It reflects ideologies. And if we don’t name those ideologies, they drive the project blindly.

A place to start is to map your ideology, want to understand how you think about openness vs. closedness? Start by reflecting on where you sit ideologically, not in labels, but in instincts. A quick sketch:
Conservatism: Assumes order, tradition, and authority are necessary. Values stability, hierarchy, and often privacy.Liberalism: Believes in open society, individual freedom, transparency, and market-based solutions.Anarchism: Rejects imposed authority, promotes mutual aid, horizontal structures, and often radical openness.
None of these are “right,” but understanding where you lean helps clarify why you walk, build or support certain tools. If you’re building tools for the #openweb, these questions matter:
Do you default to closed and secure, or open and messy?Who do you trust with knowledge—individuals or communities?Do you believe good things come from control, or emergence?
These are sociological questions, not just technical ones, maybe start here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociolog… and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_…. Where do we go from here? Let’s bring this back to the openweb and the projects we’re trying to build, like:
#OMN (Open Media Network)#MakingHistory#indymediaback#Fediverse#P2P tools (DAT, Nostr, SSB, etc.)
All of these projects struggle with the tension between openness and privacy, between usability and purity, between federation and anarchy.

But if we start with clear values, and an honest reflection on the world we want to create, we can avoid the worst traps. Let’s say it plainly:
Not everything should be open. But if we close everything, we lose what’s worth protecting.
Let’s talk: What do you think should be closed? What must be kept open at all costs? What’s your ideological instinct, and how does it shape your view of the #openweb?

Im making a dashboard of stuff I use daily, using Grav CMS. This includes a customised set of feeds (with custom Twigfeeds plugin), access to a file repo, a few other tools (like Photopea, TLdraw) and a note making app. Grav is the framework but the markdown notes are created from front end, not backend admin. They can be edited using SimpleMDE plugin, and Add Page with Form plugin makes new notes. Ill make an archive so that any note can be edited from front end.

A couple of years ago I wrote a tweet thread about how I'd begun to see people in the crypto and finreg spaces expressing excitement about the traceability of cryptocurrencies.

Thinking back to it as I watch Senators and crypto industry executives talk about how delightfully traceable public blockchains are. No pesky warrant required!

Today in Labor History July 10, 1894: The Pullman Rail Car strike was put down by 14,000 federal and state troops. Over the course of the strike, soldiers killed 70 American Railway Union (ARU) members. Eugene Debs and many others were imprisoned during the strike for violating injunctions. Debs founded the ARU in 1893. The strike began, in May, as a wildcat strike, when George Pullman laid off employees and slashed wages, while maintaining the same high rents for his company housing in the town of Pullman, as well as the excessive rates he charged for gas and water. During the strike, Debs called for a massive boycott against all trains that carried Pullman cars. While many adjacent unions opposed the boycott, including the conservative American Federation of Labor, the boycott nonetheless affected virtually all train transport west of Detroit. Debs also called for a General Strike, which Samuel Gompers and the AFL blocked. At its height, over 200,000 railway workers walked off the job, halting dozens of lines, and workers set fire to buildings, boxcars and coal cars, and derailed locomotives. Clarence Darrow successfully defended Debs in court against conspiracy charges, arguing that it was the railways who met in secret and conspired against their opponents. However, they lost in their Supreme Court trial for violating a federal injunction.

By the 1950s, the town of Pullman had been incorporated into the city of Chicago. Debs became a socialist after the strike, running for president of the U.S. five times on the Socialist Party ticket, twice from prison. In 1905, he cofounded the radical IWW, along with Lucy Parsons, Mother Jones, Big Bill Haywood and Irish revolutionary James Connolly. In 1894, President Cleveland designated Labor Day a federal holiday, in order to detract from the more radical May 1st, which honored the Haymarket martyrs and the struggle for the 8-hour day. Legislation for the holiday was pushed through Congress six days after the Pullman strike ended, with the enthusiastic support of Gompers and the AFL.
