   It feels appropriate to post about #SoftwareFreedomDay on the Fediverse. Many of us wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Free Software. I run both #Misskey & #Mitra which I find both quite fantastic in their own right.

     @gabriel It's a real shame the "event hosts" use proprietary software to host and appear to be require running proprietary JavaScript just to look at the events;

     They also link straight to facebook, google "meet" for the main meeting (instead of the far superior free software Galène - with "fosstdon.org" being secondary
     
     
     To be honest, every day in software freedom day on fully free systems running the Church of Emacs, so it doesn't need a day of its own and one should probably avoid being lead astray by proprietary software pushers.

     Either federation is broken, they're using another instance or they're posting to facebook instead (I get the feeling it's the latter, but there's no freedom-respecting way to check).
