The https://dwebcamp.org/videos/ crew look so out of touch with the and our reboot in general.

Hamishcampbell, to fediverse

@e8johan was wondering about the status of the https://conf.tube instance to host videos for this https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/ngi-forum-2023/3354 and who is admin now for uploads. is this instance still a part of our "commons" :)

The "tragedy of the commons" is complex as it's a real thing inside capitalism, and we do all live inside capitalism, so it's a real thing. For it not to be a real thing, you will need to change the human world to live in a different economic system to capitalism - this is a challenge.

So functionally, it is a real thing that we encounter in most alternatives. Best to keep this in mind when building alternatives

etc :)

The of the has dropped the quality and interestingness of content share by a lot over the last few months.

This is a issue we have not looked at yet.

The and problem we have suffered from the last 15 years. Composting is a good use for , but the is strong on this use.

The mess we have made with and of the last 40 years needs a path out of.

We can all agree it's a mess, can we agree to pick up shovels to compost this mess

The project is an initiative aimed at reviving the project, a decentralized grassroots media network that emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The project was founded on the principles of open publishing, direct democracy, and anti-authoritarianism. This very powerful project was ripped apart from internal and external tensions and forces.

Let's look at the social and political ground the owners of our "new" social media stand on:

X (twitter) is far right
Threads (Facebook/Instagram) corporate right
Nostor Libertarian right

Mastodon centre left

That's it, we have no real left-wing social media, good to keep this in mind when supporting projects

We appreciate donations to campaign and activism, and know that other instances may be struggling financially. If you are in a position to donate to your instance, please consider donating.

There is zero problems with those that can’t afford it. These are tough times and it’s important to provide a reliable and useful social network.

It's interesting to see the balance of fail and success in this project/community in the small picture we seced in the big picture we fail, a recurring . How to care about this is something we don't think about much. Maybe this should be a part of our SocialHub Community Values, how can we embedded something like this, is it even possible.

20 years of selling us libertarian individualism to push aside collective support of the "revolutionary" which is when we last had left tech power.

For this 20 years we have had pushing as left tech, this is OBVIOUSLY a disaster we can't keep doing. Yes, let's not get into a prat fight, this is needed as a supplementary.

The activism instance has shut down due to payment cancelled from lack of funds. We received no direct donations for this instance for the last year on or and funds were far beyond exorsted.

We would like to restart the instance based on a different codebase if donations could cover the ongoing costs of servers and hosting

Our culture is currently not strong anufe to support alt media hosting or production.

Our if you are wondering why I am documenting the devouring of this reboot, it is because next time we can maybe try and mediate our "libertarian cats" for a better outcome. We cannot just keep fucking up like this

Hamishcampbell, to fediverse

This information matters because it sheds light on the origins and development of as a reboot of the . It highlights the contrast between mainstream platforms () and the grassroots efforts of individuals and communities () who are passionate about creating an open and decentralized web.
