The Open Media Network (#OMN) is comprised of standards-based, political software, used to build a #KISS and #4opens grassroots web of trust. We do this by outlining a human-understandable workflow and then building apps for real world use. We are agnostic regarding the underlying technology and programming as long as it is #4opens based.

The project came out of us cats outreaching #activertypub to the EU and in my work am finding a digital hole in so meany places that the code could fill, so it’s time to make it happen.
Distilled, grassroots, radical governance is an ideal fit for the fediverse. We are developing a universal stakeholder model that is built up from this.

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.

The work is largely based on [Sortition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition) and the [KISS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle) principle.

The #OGB is not a traditional top down fight for power like the #mainstreaming agenda, rather it is a bottom-up grassroots fight for sharing power like many of the 20th century social movements that created the current mainstream.

The advantage of "governance" within the fediverse - which it needs if it is to become a part of our #openweb based society, that is essential for social change/challenges in the era of #climatechaos - is that there is none.

In this, we don’t HAVE to think how it fits into current working practices and current economics. Rather, people PUSHING these "common sense" solutions to the fediverse "governance" problems are a part of the problem, not a solution that might work.
To be "native" to the fediverse we need to use code to build "society". Organizing for SocialHub Community Empowerment has to be anti “common sense” in the same way that the fediverse itself is.

Social change groups have worked in this way to challenge and change power structures on the ground. Some examples of Social change groups: from squats, protest camps, climate camps; to indymedia, Reclaim the Streets; to XR and even Occupy.

Rainbow Gatherings are a working example of this grassroots governance. They have been going on for 50 years and the core is still based on the founding traditions which came from the Vietnam War - not the hippy dippy origins that people talk about.
