Fragments of Tactical Media https://etherport.org/publications/inc/Tactical_Media_Reader/ The internet has moved on from the network to the feed. A single post can reach millions, but only on the platform’s terms. Algorithms set the pace, surveillance sets the limits, and extraction pays the bills. The result is a landscape of isolated, fully surveilled islands. So, what is tactical media in the here and now? What can activists do with media today? This collection brings together stories of community radio and DIY TV, meme ecologies, mesh networks, anti-scroll tactics, livestreams from war zones, and knitting workshops to better understand infrastructure. It maps what tactical media looks like after the feed: smaller, stranger, more local, and often slower, but still incisive.
