This appears to be related to a DDOS against #SourceHut:

@Di4na The 2016 Eghbal report [1] is very good; pp 120+121 are interesting about GitHub before the MS #EEE.

@forgefed #ForgeFed [2] - could you remind us of a good URL on ForgeFed funding (NLNet?) as a real-world example of funding FOSS?

@khinsen @civodul might have some good links on the current status of other EU-based initiatives towards sustainable incomes for FOSS developers/maintainers.

Don't think so. It's a citizens' association registered in Vienna:

Not just FOSS: Mobilizon is part of the Fediverse: https://mobilizon.org/en

Armenia ratifying the #RomeStatute [1] is excellent news for humanity (124 states are now party to the #RomeStatute that establishes the #InternationalCriminalCourt) but bad news for Putin, Maria Lvova-Belova, Joseph Kony, Alfred Yekatom, David Sanakoev, Omar al-Bashir, Charles Blé Goudé, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi [2][3] and quite likely Ismail Haniyeh and Benjamin Netanyahu [4].

It took several steps of following URLs to find the plugin's licence. I was a bit worried given all the blabla about it being "acquired" by Automattic. It is [1][2] free software, covered by the Expat licence [3].

Definitely good news! :)

So it can be freely: 0 used, 1 modified, 2 redistributed and 3 redistributed in a modified form.

Have you tried @ mentioning some of the journa.host people who know you well? They're probably new to taking responsibility for coordinators/moderators FOSS style. GAFAM encourages passivity; FOSS encourages responsibility.

Seems like @opencollective might want to check if Brown's journa.host management is consistent with opencollective's ethics.

@jeff has a page there [1] and has a right to publicly answer this thread too.

He is past director of the Gold Coast Venture Capital Association. He has also work [sic] with various nonprofits to fund innovative journalism projects around the world." [2]

The strings "wiki" and "git " are completely absent. Online democracy needs structure and editing history.

p18: "We recommend that the Nordic countries work to introduce a legal demand for effective age verification and parental control as default settings for relevant social media platforms." - refers to FR, DE, EU policies and CNIL [35].

Obligatory 3rd-party age verification for anyone wishing to toot? Depends on defn of "relevant".

@notroot

The People's Front of Emacs and the Vim Front of the People are rock-solid allies, despite all rumours to the contrary. I think you're just trying to provoke unnecessary splits. You're not from the Popular Emacs Front, by any chance?

Does the GNU Affero General Publice License v3 #AGPLv3 for software package S *require* that a web service W running S provide a facility for user U of the S on W to export his/her user-created *content* from server W to local files?

[My guess is "no". In which case if U gets tired of W (or W closes down, changes ToS, whatever), then U can start a new service running S, but may have to recreate the content from scratch (or html scrapes).]
