@msaunders @Hamishcampbell too late for the activism instance but this looks to be a sound proposal

This is the last time I am saying this the instance cannot be restored, if we get more funding we would like to set up an activism instance based on a different codebase, but the chance we can reuse the existing database is near zero, the content is thus lost.

There are no resources to continue this conversation, thanks.

Rule making is always the death path of any working Alt/grassroots structure https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/ this comes soon after the dictatorship of the invisible hierarchy, its mess making.

This is a scripted fail that is recurring for 20 years of the in tech and "governance" we do need to do better

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.

almost nobody is interested in "good" or "humane" you instead push the mess that is pushed into view by the right wing. Our are "blind" to the left because the left has little media to push stuff into the view of our

Please look up and step away from this mess pushing thanks.

@hamishcampbell Hi Hamish, we are trying to do a temporary transition to campaign. Unfortunately activism went offline early, ie. 7th Oct 2023 GMT rather than 8 Oct as promised.

It went offline within minutes of us messaging you. See below for message. Might you please arrange to re-enable the instance so we can do a needed temporary transition. Thanks.

Hamishcampbell,

@dsfgs as you say it's likely to do with time zones, it shut down when our next payment was cancelled due to lack of funds. We received no direct donations for this instance for the last year on opencollective or bitcoin 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

The instance is removed, we can't boot it backup

we added a coding suggestion to make this process work better https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/27334

Talking about the mess in governance, is not about you.

It's the subject, if we are going to organize in a way, using tools I hope.

at the we have been using Gitta (Forgejo) for the social organizing of the , but it is functionally a hard block for non geeks to stay onboard.

Mess making is the best we have now

it's a slave relationship :) well OK maybe a serf, most tech has this feudalism hardcoded its a path we need to do on hardcore :)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serfdom is how most and tech works... it's a mess, we do need to do better

Hamishcampbell, (edited ) to foss

it's the normal feudalism we need to move away from. Mess making is a problem with this stage of any grassroots movement. There is not much left of any "group" much more like cats it's individuals dressed as grassroots, human being are social, as is social media, we are still stuck in headspace with current "personal" mess making.

I think is the path, in this we do have to say NO to the "police". How this works is based on "trust" and firm foundations, and yes our only has a skeleton foundation, a good one but needs much more support, the event is for laying this support into the ground as foundations to build on.

is a problem of hashtags they soften the story, better is direct speaking

We are shutting down our mastodon activists instance next month. We are going to look at the sustainability of the campaign instance, but think it's half paying it hosting costs, activism covered no costs over a year. Will do funding outreach for this campaign instance over the next few months, we plan to keep it online, but it would be nice if it covered its hosting costs and help cover the costs of the wider

We have shut down 3 servers over the last year only works if...

@Hamishcampbell is campaign.openworlds.info staying afloat for the time being, ie. is it only the activism… instance which is going under?

Resource use is an issue with the codebase, it's not a on using it but is an issue to think about using a different codebase instead.

With Mastodon going down the path and wedded to feudalism as "governance" we also face these common issues for tech projects.

We make a mess in good to try different paths

@Zenoka
Online itself is not sustainable, and required special deals and . That's mostly what breaking was about — and its wrong.

We talk about an ethical video-format that can combine higher resolution stills with 12 fps video max.

Campaign is for groups, so better off on a activist subject instances, we don't have an instance for this for now. If we can get a big donation, we should have one https://opencollective.com/open-media-network
