Banks pumped more than $150bn in to companies running ‘carbon bomb’ projects in 2022 - https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/31/banks-pumped-more-than-150bn-in-to-companies-running-carbon-bomb-projects-in-2022 appalling

@bsmall2 @aral @glynmoody

Have been using the hashtag as a synonym of , which is old fundamentalist capitalism that has come in waves, look at "classical liberalism" of the Victorian era that lead to the Irish and Bengal famines. And the last 40 years of mess in the west.

This is a mess we need to compost agen.

Hamishcampbell,

@aral @glynmoody maybe use the hashtag as truth telling about our "ruling class".

I get confused with the mess people push over my views. I am a seruse guy, addressing fundamental issues that are the change and challenge, we all agree are needed in tech to address social and environmental issues,

Have been doing this at the VERY sharp face of conflict for 40 years. Please look at the hundreds of films I made on this subject, thanks.

Where do people get the idea, what am talking about is not seruseus? This is a hard-to-understand view people push, am trying in good faith to address.

Hope this helps, so we can move past this mess making, thanks.

Hamishcampbell,

@witchescauldron

Hope people can see where the hashtag comes from :)

On the subject of the current reboot please don't just keep copying is a first step, at the we have projects that groups of people have been working on for the last ten years and are all stuck on dev stage for last year or so. To try and unstick this, we have 3 funding applications for for the in.

Click on the hashtags to see the process links in full :)

unless we can get sustainable funding for this instance it will shut down on the Renewal: 2023-11-12 which is the date of the next payment.

We have been talking about this for the last few months.

Hamishcampbell,

@michaelgraaf no idea copied it from the renewal page, our instances is hosted in France but think the billing is in the USA... globalization :)

it's soon, is all i can say. a few weeks.

In the UK you can see socialism slowly creeping back after 40 years of worshiping the of neoliberlism. The is now no choices but to move away, nice to see tiny steps at last.

You’re also drawing attention to the very hard idea of “diversity of tactics” – using different tools in different settings.

It’s a miracle when the two sides can hold this bridge in place, the effect of this miracle is more powerful outcome for both agenders BUT the longer this bridge is held in place the stronger the internal and outside forces push to demolish it – it falls, have never seen a bridge hold for the whole campaign.

A reminder this instance will have to shut down due to lack of funding soon #modteam

We need your feedback on this.

Hamishcampbell,

@rooftopaxx @nedhamson the is no shutdown date yet, we are still consulting but as you say I don't think this instance has the focus or community to stay online.

Hamishcampbell,

@rooftopaxx people are noticing... its the tools the devs give us to work with.

Hamishcampbell,

@nedhamson @michaelgraaf @rooftopaxx the information is scattered all over the place, and has been repeated for 20 years :)

The openclective is the funding side of the and
campaign openworlds info? is an instances that is a part of this wider activist project

Hamishcampbell,

@nedhamson @michaelgraaf @rooftopaxx

you can see the money coming out here, but this is mostly only to cover the mastodon instances, as the OVH servers have been paid out of historic foundation funding that has now run out.

https://opencollective.com/open-media-network/expenses

We try as much as possible to run things

You can find a lot of documentation on this here http://hamishcampbell.com which i use as a "collective backup".

Hamishcampbell,

@rooftopaxx we have been running these instances for admin and mod for the projects rather than the power for social change, as you say the instance community failed a year or more ago.

We now face a funding crunch due to none of the funding applications going through for the tech projects... so it's supporting community or closer

Hamishcampbell,

@nedhamson you can donate here https://opencollective.com/open-media-network to help cover some of keeping this instance online for the last year.

If we close down will post how to migrate help pages

Hamishcampbell, to diy

You guys need to talk to each other @michaelgraaf @rooftopaxx @nedhamson as this space is culture

Hamishcampbell,

@nedhamson @michaelgraaf @rooftopaxx the problem of this instance is that you guys have not talked to each other, try this as a first step.

Hamishcampbell,

@rooftopaxx @michaelgraaf @nedhamson @EarthWolf

Yep this is a shame as the fluffy spiky debate is key to real rather social change and challenge, it's basic stuff.

If we can all build a community to sustain the instances then we can reboot activism as a different codebase than mastodon, the are a lot so the ida is still good, can we build a community of use rather than individuals "shouting into the void" as we unkindly like to say at the

Hamishcampbell,

@rooftopaxx @michaelgraaf @nedhamson

it needs to have £40 a month donation, plus some extra to build up a buffer - currently we are down to nothing, not a good way to run the

Hamishcampbell,

@rooftopaxx @michaelgraaf @nedhamson @EarthWolf

if the is a strong enough community to make this happen, it can and should stay online.

Hamishcampbell, to UX

the has been a lot of clear communication on the sustainability. I think the tools for this are bad, this is a dev issue.

You can outreach this link to build suitability https://opencollective.com/open-media-network

You’re bringing in the idea of “fluffy” and “spiky”. And you think both have merit.

Have been working with bridging this often hostile divide for more than 30 years in hundreds of campaigns on the ground and online. The best outcome you can hope for is “diversity of tactics/strategy”
