#ThoughProvoker :blobhyperthink: The (emergent) strategy of the #FOSS movement as a whole is "Make FOSS, change the world". And it worked. 9 trillion of value to the corporate business world and big tech. You can do a lot with that money, and indeed change the world.

The fediverse is a new type of social network that is built by people themself, by adding their own servers and applications, so that the network organically grows. Millions of people from across the globe are thus able to find each other on the basis of shared passions and interests, and navigate a rich tapestry of inclusive communities to discuss and collaborate, and to express their freedom and creativity. #ActivityPub #fediverse

 πŸŽ‰ Congratulations to the #Bonfire team @ivan and @Mayel for making it this far, through all that tireless hard work.

Hurray! πŸ₯³ The last days of #SocialMedia have come. Sped up by an unexpected but uplifting side-effect of the #AI madness perhaps? 🌱 Here comes #PersonalSocialNetworking.

The paradox of decentralization is that the more a technology ecosystem decentralizes, the more need there is for cohesive coordination to assure that the foundational technologies can support that decentralization, without the ecosystem falling apart.

 #FOSS #FreeSoftware #OpenSource #Funding
πŸ“’ CALL TO FEDIVERSE Tons of discussion about seeking alternatives to #Microsoft #Github, now that it has become part of MS's #AI division. What made GH so popular, we should ask? Well, a ton of features and services on top of #git and a huge platform that makes exploring millions of #FOSS projects easy, are among the reasons I suppose. The #ActivityPub @ForgeFed project funded by #NGI0 via @NLnet is creating open standards to provide the same, *native* to the #fediverse! Yet they need HELP.
