We start with the assumption that 90-100% of funding on this subject is simply pored down the drain, most of it into pointless NGO projects and #fashernista individuals “careers”.

Let’s look first with the best #openweb funders I have found recently https://nlnet.nl/ who have money from NGI Zero which is from the EU

4opens

To fix some of these issues:

• Online governance - openwebgovernancebody - Open Media Network: Gitea openweb tech from the perspective of a radical, grassroots, social technologist this is distilled into a codebase, as a “permissionless” roll-out of frameworks for social groups to form and see/govern themselves. Statements of support - openwebgovernancebody - Open Media Network: Gitea

• Statements of support - openwebgovernancebody - Open Media Network: Gitea Its easy to see that the #dotcons can not be fixed. The #fashionistas who keep flocking to new “ethical-ish” ones are a problem, not a solution. The #4opens are a simple way to judge the value of an “alt/grassroots” tech project. We need to bring this into our funding agenda.

• Home - Open-Media-Network - Open Media Network: Gitea Simple #OMN is a standards based political software framework to build #KISS and #4opens grassroots semantic web of trust links and flows. We do this by outlining a human understandable workflow and then building apps for real-world use. We are agnostic on the underling technology and programming as long as it is #4opens based.

That this forum does not have activertypub is beyond crap, the is a good conviction about this on the #fedivers should be showing up here.

Thought from spend a year talking to the #EU about #activitypub and #fedivers

With the growing influx of funding into the #openweb we will see an increase in #techchurn due to the #geekproblem being feed by #mainstreaming #stupidindividualism of most of the #fashernista who can jump through the bureaucracy gate keeper hoops.

Hoping for a balance of good Vs damage, though the shear blinded arrogance of the vertical crew push us to the damage side. They don’t wont to see this problem #NGI we as a community need to push back on this for a better outcome
