What should be closed? And what should never be?

A conversation about ideology, sociology, and the #openweb. Let’s start with a basic liberal framework:

“Most social interactions should happen in the open. Some personal interactions should remain private.”

Seems reasonable, right? That’s the position many of us think we agree on. Yet when we look at how our technology, and by extension, our society, is being built, that balance is totally out of whack. Today, more and more of life is CLOSED:

Closed apps.

Closed data.

Closed […]

Capitalism is a hostage situation -Not an economy

Our current #mainstreaming path of paywalls stacked on paywalls isn’t life, it’s a trap, we need a way out. In our everyday lives, we’ve come to accept the absurd:

You pay to eat food grown on land you don’t own,

Pay to sleep under a roof that someone profits from,

Pay to drink water privatized by corporations,

Pay to breathe, because the air is poisoned by industries that sell you both the problem and the solution.

And if you miss a payment? Game over. That’s not a […]

Real world tackling the #geekproblem

DRAFT

With rebooting the #openweb we run headfirst into the #geekproblem, a recurring pattern where: Technically brilliant people build powerful tools …but those tools remain socially unusable …or solve only geek problems, not the needs of actual communities. It’s not malice, often it’s idealism, but it creates a dead-end culture of endless prototypes, abandoned standards, and empty tech demos. Meanwhile, the real-world crisis deepens.The work we need is bridges building, let’s […]

Before I continue, let me say that I am for the #OpenWeb. The World Wide Web is a gift. It's a miracle that it exists, truly.

But I'm am vehemently, staunchly, against the unification of our social graphs under a single power. Is that a controversial take in the open web religion? Is it blasphemy? I don't know.

Anyway,

Shoutout to the archivists and aggregators—the people who have the foresight to know when tech history is happening, so they round up all the relevant blog posts, news articles, and socials.

Y'all are the unsung heroes of the web. Understanding tech history means not making the same mistakes. Without our archivists and aggregators so much of that history would be lost to dead links and buried under #Google's SERP. Thank you.

@are0h the Fediverse has a long history, then there are spoiler protocols like Bluesky and nostor, which are native but also meto projects. Which is fine but good to focus on the native history rather than the offshoots of this, yes it's all #openweb and #4opens but focus matters.

it's a interesting conversation if we can avoid the trolling :)

Only half joking, but can we please get a prompt that warns users during posting, in the way that you haven't added "alt text" to images, that you are providing a link to proprietary platforms, like X, Meta, Youtube etc?

"You're including a link from [enter evilcorp name] are you sure you want to do that? In the spirit of the free web, please consider providing a link to an open platform"

😉

Google isn't a search engine anymore. It's an answer engine, and it's killing the open web.

Their new AI Overviews are causing a catastrophic drop in traffic for publishers. We've analyzed the data: organic traffic is down 27% for top sites, click-through rates have plummeted by 35-56%, and the industry faces a $2 billion ad revenue black hole.

Worse, the AI is spreading dangerous misinformation, telling users to eat rocks and put glue on pizza. This isn't just an update; it's an existential threat to creators and the integrity of online information.

Today I finally understood one of React’s most confusing warnings:
"React Hook useEffect has a missing dependency…"

🔍 What began as debugging ended up being a crash course in useCallback, stale closures, and infinite re-renders.

Yesterday I decided to take action and gift myself my first own "website" for my birthday.

Inspired by @laura I also managed to write my first ever blog post (don't expect much, but it means a lot to me):

I'm exited to finally have my very own "space on the web" which I can use to contribute just a tiny bit towards a friendlier, more human, more #OpenWeb

Flummic · A Birthday Gift to Myself: My Own Corner of the WebToday is my Birthday. And this year, I decided to give myself a gift: my very first (own) website. For quite a long time, I’ve been fascinated by the idea of having my own small place on the open web - a space I control, shape, and fill with

The new right weaponizing culture: The right goes post-liberal

Let’s have a look at an example of the new mess we’re facing: JD Vance – author, venture capitalist, convert Catholic, and now Vice President. He’s not a Reaganite libertarian, nor a traditional conservative. Instead, Vance represents something more dangerous: a dogmatic ideology, born in the boardrooms of tech billionaires and the seminaries of Catholicism, forged on in the #dotcons, and now pushing American politics into very dark territory.

This isn’t politics as usual. It’s […]
