The Open Media Network (#OMN) is a collective that builds and hosts standards-based, political/social software. We work toward the manifestation of a #KISS and #4opens grassroots web of trust. Keeping it human scale, we outline a human-understandable workflow used to then develop apps for real world use. We are agnostic with regard to the underlying technology and programming, as long as it is #4opens based.

The project came out of us cats outreaching #ActivityPub to the EU and in my work. I am finding a digital hole in so many places that this 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.
The working practice comes from 30 years of building from The Tyranny of Structureless tick box list LINK

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.

**Abstract: Can you explain the whole project and its expected outcome(s).**
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 best in current mainstream.

The #OGB is a seed. "There is such a thing as society" - we need to build our tools for this anti "common sense" statement.

(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. This is a good thing.)
A truly #openweb society is essential for the social change and challenges that we are facing in the era of #climatechaos.
The major advantage of "governance" within the fediverse, is that there is none. This is a good thing.
Yet the fediverse is in need of "governance" if it is to become part of our #openweb based society - we simply need to redefine what it is to govern and be governed.
**[Is the above a poor re-wording?? Have I misinterpreted?]**
The Fediverse comes from the "cats" of libertarianism and to a lesser extent anarchism without the (O).
(In this, we dont 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.)
In this, we mustn't think how to fit into current working practices and current economics. Those who _push_ "common sense" solutions to problems of "governance" within the fediverse are in fact a part of the problem, rather than a solution that has a chance of succeeding.
