The idea is to build <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/openweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openweb</span></a> projects that can initially supplement, and eventually replace, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dotcons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dotcons</span></a> in this space. Whether or not the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fashernistas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fashernistas</span></a> push this mainstream is secondary — the work is worth doing either way.</p><p>On the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OMN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OMN</span></a> side, the current focus is rebooting <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indymedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Indymedia</span></a> as a decentralized, trust-based publishing network, and launching the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResistanceExhibition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ResistanceExhibition</span></a> for public archiving of grassroots struggles. These are tangible, practical projects built with a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KISS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KISS</span></a> approach to keep things simple and functional, rather than getting lost in the usual cycle of over-complication.</p><p>We’re also seeing a wave of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fashernistas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fashernistas</span></a> flooding into <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/openweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openweb</span></a> development. Expect to see plenty of replays of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/geekproblem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>geekproblem</span></a> as people chase trends rather than build sustainable solutions. Hopefully, this will be balanced out by a continued focus on healthy <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/4opens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>4opens</span></a> development — the kind that centers community needs over tech fetishism.</p><p>At least for now, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/encryptionists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>encryptionists</span></a> have been pushed into the background by the spectacular failures of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/crypto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crypto</span></a> fantasies. But if we don’t actively build alternatives, these bad ideas will keep coming back. The key is to stay grounded, keep shoveling the compost, and grow something real.</p><p>The future of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/openweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openweb</span></a> isn’t going to build itself — but the roots are still alive. Let’s dig in. 🌱</p>
