Ok, I thought about it for a while & it still frustrates me that FOSS communities oft motion at underlying philosophy where--should they succeed--it would be extremely leftist results & highly disruptive of status quo (good). But they basically refuse to think about that! (bad).Permalink On twitter.com

Maybe someone has already written about this? Like, software is divided up into ultra capitalists like Gates and Jobs vs philosophic radicals who position software as the key to fundamentally disrupting status quo, and they basically operate the same and that's weird right?Permalink On twitter.com

Like... I dunno, it sorta *matters* if you're going around being like 'software should be about making money' while you take a salary from top tier surveillance capitalists? We all have to live in a society etc...Permalink On twitter.com

But it makes sense to think about how to make these spaces welcoming for the type of people needed to actually be revolutionary... who can't afford to hold the same principles as you... right?Permalink On twitter.com

What got me thinking on this is like... we're maybe ~2 months in to people switching from Mastodon & I'm already seeing instance admins looking burned out . You can't revolutionize the world with software if you are burned out and t/f ... we need better ways to *make a living*.Permalink On twitter.com
