Hamish Campbell<p><strong>Dig, Plant, Grow. Compost the #Techshit, Repeat</strong></p> <p>Let’s be honest, much of the so-called “alternative” tech scene is still stuck. We fled the #dotcons for something better, but ended up with copies of the same broken models. The Fediverse, with all its potential, is still dominated by “mainstreaming meta” chat (“Twitter refugees incoming!”) or conspiracy-laden, #fashionista rabbit holes. It’s little wonder that even the nerdy privacy crowd struggles to find meaningful content or community. And no, shouting “fuck the system!” […]</p> <p><a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/dig-plant-grow-compost-the-techshit-repeat-2/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hamishcampbell.com/dig-plant-g</span><span class="invisible">row-compost-the-techshit-repeat-2/</span></a></p>

Hamish Campbell<p><strong>What does mainstreaming do?</strong></p> <p>#mainstreaming narrows the field of imagination and excludes non-conforming ideas that could offer real solutions to systemic crises. Mainstreaming smooths the rough edges of society. It normalizes hierarchy, filters dissent, and packages politics into manageable narratives.

Jared White (🏳️‍⚧️ ally)<p>I'm considering just outright blocking Google from my blogs. Just remove me from your index.

Hamish Campbell<p><strong>Conversations on Compost, Bridges, and the Future</strong></p> <p>A few recent conversations remind me: we’ve already done the work of building alternatives. Twenty years of grassroots tech, radical process, and messy social organizing.

Hamish Campbell<p><strong>The Open Media Network: More Than Just a Tech Project</strong></p> <p>At first glance, the #OMN (Open Media Network) might look like a technical project, a collection of code, standards, and protocols.
