It’s good to see engagement and use growing here. It would be healthy to have a social platform free of the billionaire oligopoly and the corporate ad folks, don’t you think?

I still find it quite odd that #GitHub calls itself "the place where open source communities live", and is all for #OpenSource, and yet... their own service isn't open source...

I mean, don't get me wrong, they're doing really good work (except Copilot), and we wouldn't be better off without them (if they hadn't made Copilot), but still... you gotta admit that's quite ironic!

@deesenaughts @PhenomX6 @Shadowman311 they were never meant to have this freedom, and the institutions knew this. not politically, not technologically, not morally.
