I wish more people who are worried about FOSS supply side attacks would realize that universal basic income and free healthcare would result in an almost infinite stream of excellent software from people who care more about quality than profit.

I feel like many people who worked on the web and who are around @anildash's age will recognize themselves in his story. Our passive acceptance of the closing of the web by hypercorps broke my heart.

In a couple of weeks I'm planning to spin up a test instance of @gotosocial, an ActivityPub backend alternative to Mastodon. It'll be at a different domain than WiderWeb.org. Let me know if you'd like to kick the tires with me and I'll send an invite.
