Bye bye old fedi 👋 thx for all the Free Beer!
With #Facebook plans to test decentralized waters after #Cloudflare and others, we'll see resilience of #Fediverse to remain of-the-people.
Does it matter if they'll be #ActivityPub-based or not? Stuff depends on levels of investment and products launched.
Was thinking #BigTech would only add AP endpoints a bit naive?
Will slick open core products, sdk's, quality semi-open specs and docs, launch the #CorpoVerse?
Keep the #FOSS free beer coming 😞
@smallcircles I'm not worried 🙂
@atomicpoet I wouldn't say I am worried. This was bound to happen one day.
But I am disappointed that in all the years before the grassroots #FOSS movement wasn't able to create stronger foundations that would place them in a better position than they are now.
It is a fact of life, I know. #FreeSoftware has a big sustainability issue that is very hard to tackle.
If #Fediverse is taken over by the corporate world, FOSS projects are left to add to that or explore new areas to be captured later.
@smallcircles seems to me that the way to make Free Software sustainable is to make proprietary software unacceptable. I think that's a relatively easy thing to do, because proprietary software sucks. I've explained it at some length: https://davelane.nz/proprietary @atomicpoet

I agree, you only need to look at the toxic culture on twitter alone, what Musk is doing to his employees and others, and the fact that corporate america invest in this further as an illustration their values, morals and ethics belong in the sewer.
