Walled Culture<p><strong>Massive expansion of Italy’s Piracy Shield underway despite growing criticism of its flaws</strong></p><p>Walled Culture has been following closely Italy’s poorly-designed Piracy Shield system. Back in December we reported how copyright companies used their access to the Piracy Shield system to order Italian Internet service providers (ISPs) to block access to all of Google Drive for the entire country, and how malicious actors could similarly use that unchecked power to shut down critical […]</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category"

Hamish Campbell<p><strong>Why the Fediverse Needs a Connection Between Mainstreaming and Grassroots</strong></p>
One of the best things about the Fediverse is that real people and community's get to choose what kind of digital paths they want to take. Don’t want #Meta snooping around? Join or host an instance that blocks them out. Prefer not to have people search your content? Lock it down in your settings. Want to mediate the strong #blinded flow of “normies”? Close the doors via your instance settings. It’s a "nativist" system that offers a radical degree of agency compared to the […]

Hamish Campbell<p><strong>Keeping Conversation’s Open – the Fluffy-Spiky Debate</strong></p>
In activist spaces and grassroots communities, the tension between #fluffy and #spiky approaches is a well-worn dynamic. Fluffy represents a gentler, consensus-driven path, centred on kindness, inclusion, and collective care. Spiky, on the other hand, is sharp-edged, direct, and confrontational, willing to disrupt and break things to push for change. Both paths have their place, but the trouble arises when fluffy turns dogmatic, morphing into a hard passive-aggressive policing that silences […]

Hamish Campbell<p><strong>The #fashernistas poisoned the well of alt-media</strong></p>
This has been going on for ten years, at many steps, I meet defeatism and negativity. It’s frustrating, especially now, when the mainstream is visibly stepping away from the #dotcons and looking for a place to land. We should be building that landing space, but instead, we’re tangled in the wreckage of failed ideas and cynical inertia.
Yes, stupid fashionable ideas have failed again and again, but that doesn’t mean the basics no longer work. The #openweb grew from simple, powerful […]

Hamish Campbell<p><strong>“Compost tending” the fabric of #openweb</strong></p>
Let's look at what makes sense: it’s about collective dynamics, not individual blame. The focus is on mapping the social landscape, understanding the patterns of dysfunction, and then figuring out how to break through those blockages. The idea of switching between #spiky and #fluffy approaches as needed is powerful, rejecting rigid ideology in favour of practical, responsive action.
Making the #blocking visible is essential. So much of the stagnation in #openweb and activist spaces comes […]

Hamish Campbell<p><strong>Why are #fashernistas so poisoning?</strong></p>
#Fashionistas chase status and spectacle over substance, co-opting real radical movements for aesthetics. They turn collective struggles into performative gestures, feeding the #mainstreaming cycle. This poisons the roots of change, turning compost into toxic waste, energy that could grow new things instead feeds the system they claim to resist.
Why is the #geekproblem such a strong #blocking force? This is rooted in control, a deterministic mindset that values code over culture. It […]

(I've seen a few list but not the official or recommended <a href="https://joinmastodon.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">joinmastodon.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> - which I think would be great to have QOTO on as before to represent (that's how I found QOTO and like it's features)... </p><p>though QOTO still exists without <br>- not sure if it's clear to others.</p><p>3 ➡️ I wonder how else people would find QOTO unless heard / referred / recommended or saw QOTO users boosted from other users to switch...</p><p>4 ➡️ I'm adding <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/QOTO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QOTO</span></a> as hashtag here as it's really good to hear this anyway- </p><p>but this info could go in one FAQ post about blocking (without the gargron politics) or even something regular to counter this behaviour of leaving like regular reminder / FYI of things covered before saying how <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/blocking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blocking</span></a> by others is actually not that big of a deal and how you've tested it etc. </p><p>Educate people as your work and rest happens itself (again I see this as the job of any server and to KEEP DOING as any instance's program). Going to due on my sword on that :ms_broadsword: ⚱️ ⚰️ </p><p>If you copied and pasted it to your own pages you could be one link around where you talk about blocking there as related... instead of just Nazi's or Gargron stuff - just deflect / show it actually doesn't matter even if slightly would be slightly more signups on official website.</p><p>Maybe hashtag like <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/QOTOBlocking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QOTOBlocking</span></a> (guess this is there now) could prep and collect it and we can always revise the hashtag or your website.</p><p>I'm was more torn about this before you said that. I can also have more accounts too and link them... but your info was crucial in my perspective realising "all ways a futile unless you make it yourself since mostly <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/p2p" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>p2p</span></a> ironically doesn't exist manually here or organised" and spreading *this* to others if ever mentioned about QOTO or spreading better ways between people (dare I say a movement!). </p><p>Without these kinds of talking about it, investing in / by users, people would hardly know and therefore get wrong ideas and be left to themselves (quite normal) which is costly to you and the aims of QOTO (which I would change it to something more ACTIVE and *attacking* in education) - </p><p>Now I'm the one more pestering / attacking you and others but as a reflection of existing things not always existing or others not doing much work here (1 way posting about tech) and in my realm the cross-pollinated reasons, sharing dreams and factors would be stronger and said in passing with FOSS and STEM and reasons like you've mentioned come out sooner.</p><p>Again peer to peer conversation needed in order to _build_ (your existing efforts with me AND somehow seeding or attaching more people to each other as we go like a mesh)</p><p>It would be called "retainment" also if I was your communications / HR officer 😃 or other some such title</p><p>3 ➡️ For testing followers I would say comparing your account here to a normal account elsewhere might have some main factors that are not proportional like:<br> <br>a) declaring your creator of QOTO instead of using random / less anonym name helps get followers... more anonymity les follower<br>(it's chicken and egg sometimes for usefulness and future privacy but for people like you name is everything and worth trust even though any doctors could be bad people - but I accept names and titles help others in their head and accept others without these more state / old ways of thinking </p><p>FreeSchool for example as a name I know is + / - but my work should work more than anything / people need to start to trust that more than state with time even though I could fake a name...</p><p>b) more developed profile - more history and posts might help people follow...</p><p>but great to know you tested it.</p><p>4 ➡️ I still would like to use your own position in "power" or status to take risks on other users and QOTO behalf if not assign me someone else (like to trust me while not trusting me completely) and mutually get on with QOTO stronger / stretch arms and roots out... </p><p>5 ➡️ But for now I wait and see if you have any points from the previous 10 in the post before (of which most are skippable or first lines indicate the contents of that point)</p><p>Good stuff again. Hope others see it</p><p>6 ➡️ People reading this might realise:</p><p> it's never going to be active here or there UNLESS they / WE make it / do something along the lines I mention 1-to-1 <br>Then 1-to-many happen and doubling / Albert Bartlett ...</p><p> and we collect all these great users with whatever online name as long as the work is good!</p><p>7 ➡️ Podcast via <a href="https://vocaroo.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">vocaroo.com</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> notes whenever people feel still feelings like a good idea - maybe an edited roundup of anonymous people as podcast from one-way voice notes you or others send me and I mix up with my own sub-thoughts and see what people think (it gets people interested). But eh we'll see...</p><p>⭐ <--- freemo</p>
John Brown Type Beats<p>just seems kinda off that most people don't consider ideology to be a factor in defederation from kolektiva (or other instances)</p><p>like how long would you suppose an anarchist, anti-colonial instance would get along with liberal instances? authoritarian left ones? "apolitical" instances?</p><p>not discounting that folks have negative interactions with specific accounts, etc.</p><p>look at how many liberals react to calm, polite replies that accurately point to liberal policies and politicians helping to bring us to the current moment.. rage, insta-blocks, tirades against whole instances and ideologies based off a single encounter..</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Defederation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Defederation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Blocking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blocking</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Federation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Federation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kolektiva" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kolektiva</span></a></p>
