A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Open the source, license it to the public, and federate.
I would agree, but would also accept at the very least not going public. Going public ruins companies in the long-term. Short term they have a bunch more capital to make improvements, but it eventually always spirals down until they are just money printers for the investors and don't care about anything
Because the point of having such a huge website was always to make money. You need decentralization to remove some of that profit motive.
I think making profit is OK for a service I use every day, I'm not mad at that. It's more the making profit at the cost of all else that I don't really support
But you're right that no profit motive at all is the true ideal
This is where I'm at. The only reason I ever joined Reddit is because of the centralization of the internet. Now I'm doing my part to keep building momentum for modern, free, and independent platforms.
