"Don't Hate the Media, Be the Media!"
---
UK #indymedia near death was ripped into two by internal social forces https://archive.indymedia.org.uk/ these two victorious blood spattered parts promptly expired. The battle of open/closed had no GOOD OUTCOME need to remember this simple truth for the reboot.
### "Don't Hate the Media, Be the Media!"
The idea is to keep it simple to push the control balance from the geek to the producers/users. To use existing tools to build a open network then let the users decide how to use it. This is the “news” part of indymedia the privacy focused actavist part is needed as well. In the end its human moderated flows and actually technologicaly neutral, anything can be hub/peer on the network.
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 had NO GOOD OUTCOME. We need to remember this simple truth for the reboot.
The idea is to:
- keep it simple
- push the balance of control from the geek to the producers/users
- use existing tools to build an open network, then let the users decide how to use it
This is the “news” part of indymedia; the privacy-focussed, activist part is needed as well. In the end, the network consistes of human-moderated flows of information that are technologically neutral - anything can be a hub and/or peer in the network.
