Rise Against Big Tech web page is on our website now https://cloud68.co/rabt. The goal is to have (soon-ish) a dedicated microsite for the project and add all the materials there. Feedback welcome :) #rabt ✊ .

@aral @nclm @forgejo @Codeberg we'll make sure to reference this discussion in the next team meeting. The setup of @Codeberg is really up to our liking in comparison with giant companies. Here is why: https://cloud68.co/blog/digital-infrastructure-like-its-1968.

@aral @nclm @forgejo @Codeberg to be fair we haven't contacted them, but we have the same feeling based on perception only. What happened in our case is that people started requesting Managed Hosting for Gitlab and almost no requests for other git software. Being a small by design team sometimes limits on being proactive on offering other software for the reasons mentioned previously, although this is not to justify the reason of not having those on the list of services.

@nclm @aral just happened to see this. We don't feel comfortable with lots of 'open source washing'
that is being done the last years by various companies and the situation with licensing is becoming quite tricky. Maybe we should blog about it and share our frustration. We have also seen many cases of FLOSS projects that have not been friendly towards us when we ask them if they are ok with us providing managed hosting of their software.

@Em0nM4stodon there are quite a few including, but not limited to @eff @edri @fsfe @LaQuadrature @Framasoft @NGICommons @neil @aspirationtech @aral , but there are more.

@andycarolan @robb it is not easy, but we should not raise a white flag.

@andycarolan @robb we strongly disagree, but we are also biased :)

@andycarolan @robb indeed some apps and software are not easy to migrate, but we can start from low hanging fruits no? For Slack for example there is #mattermost or #MatrixMessenger .

@libreoffice excited every time we hear about this kind of news. Also, yeah tax funded infrastructure should be spent for free libre open source software.

We stand in solidarity ✊ with @hallo against the harassment of copyright conglomerates that instead of focusing on empowering the creators spend large amount of money against teams/companies that host open source software: https://torrentfreak.com/music-labels-win-legal-battle-against-youtube-dls-hosting-provider-230404/.

@humanetech @yarmo thank you for listing our team and for your work with the lists in general 😊

Thank you ? @Framasoft for your work on #peertube #floss

@darnell as of right now Q1 2023 is the target https://cloud68.co/blog/blogposts/do-we-offer-mastodon-instances.
The main challenge of offering #feviverse powered instances to others (with admin rights and everything) is not technical, but legal. The strugle of content moderation and everything related to it real :)

When are we offering #Mastodon instances? New blog post with status update
