Doesn't that say more about democracy

i'd argue its better for software to max foss license like AGPL, not bsd that can be taken out by companies

I replied on other thread request for joining. I'd also suggest using something other than discord(for many reasons), XMPP worked fine for other groups I'm part of, matrix had some issues but still kinda works. IRC is good but is most difficulty technicaly.

XMPP is pretty mature, groupchat works and clients are available for all major platforms. Conversations(andorid), Gajim/Dino(Linux, Windows), Monal(iOS) etc.

Hello, I am also interested in joining.

They can put as much ads as they wan't they will be blocked, and there always will be a way to block them.

firefox is not that clear, they get funding by google for putting google as default search engine thus helping google. We have a problem with FOSS funding

Just to clarify, this post is not meant to glorify startups! Startups also have CEO and it’s same as first line in the meme.

This post is meant to start a discussion and to highlight the effects big tech having on FOSS.

It’s aginst big tech not aginst FOSS!

Obviously yes

Disagree, federating with meta will kill the fedi. It will put all power in big tech.

Yes, that would be a great idea because it would free the email protocol taken over by all big tech.

That is naive look on it. Meta(Facebook) is a company, it's always company interest and only company interest. The idea of fediverse is to stay out of data tracking, user profiling, not to help it in any way. Connecting with meta is workoing aginst fediverse. It might be a mistake fediverse never recovers from, even now it's really small fedi community.

Why would we as fedi users, mods and admins help meta or any other company, for what, for their interest that they sell on "we love fediverse", "cusotmer first" bla bla bla.
