David Lynch Made a Disturbing Web Sitcom Called "Rabbits": It’s Now Used by Psychologists to Induce a Sense of Existential Crisis in Research Subjects http://www.openculture.com/?p=1052383 https://t.co/40Qk1DVgFa

Github is now a fully owned, proprietary tool of Microsoft.

It's time to decide.

Do we as a community allow our future to depend upon commercial interests of a company that to this day spreads FUD and minimizes our impact when it suits their plans?

Or do we step up, do what we do best and take our code to somewhere created by the us for us and the good of the community?

This isn't about hating Microsoft. It's about loving our own sovereignty and controlling our *own* future.

Please Boost.

The kind of drama happening now (ie. devs ignoring specific requests put forth by some users) is the natural outcome of the benevolent dictatorship model and proves that, no matter how decent, good and caring a person is when starting a massive FOSS project, they are ALL bound to reach the "I make the rules" stage, because that's the nature of human beings when exposed to massive stress.

Let's stop #ForkOff and make #Mastodon a #Cooperative NOW!

"Leave politics out of tech."

People build tech. People use tech. You cannot have tech without people. So, yes, people will be bringing politics, rights, and representation into tech with them.

The only people I see whining about politics being brought into tech are (checks notes) oh look. White men.
