"Don't Hate the Media, Be the Media!"

UK #indymedia, near death, was ripped in two by internal social forces - https://archive.indymedia.org.uk/. These two "victorious", blood-spattered parts promptly expired. The battle of open/closed, spiky/fluffy had NO GOOD OUTCOME. We need to remember this for the reboot.

The idea is to:

  • keep it simple (KISS, PGA, 4opens)
  • push the balance of control from the geek to the producers/users
  • use existing good UX tools to build a #4opens network.

What can you do to help the OMN indymedia reboot?

  • Outreach the #4opens to review tools and projects

  • It's easy to keep crossing wires with "media" vs. personal data. Media/news should be open, with clear sources (except when protecting them). Personal data should default to private please bear this in mind.

  • On the dev/organising site you can be helpfull by opening an issue to ask simple, basic, questions - https://unite.openworlds.info/explore/organizations
