I agree, good comment. There is so much big tech in foss/oss community, like you gave example with repos and with react. People working for free for big tech. Getting something to put in their CV or just bootlickers.
Every open source or foss from company is in company interest, it will never be in community interest.
Maybe some examples would be in order.
I agree on that. I'm looking into writting about FOSS funding with examples and proposing solutions for this issue. Just that takes a long time and a meme is easier.
that is a whip
I mean startup has CEO also, the meme is not representing it right. The point is not to glorify startups!
Now, fedi then develops in autonomus manner, as much as possible. There are problems with centralization on fedi even now without meta.
Letting them in will only help meta EEE(embrace, extened, extinguish) it.
Same story as XMPP
With xmpp you could chat with people on messenger just by having xmpp account somewhere else. Now you cannot. And no email is not working just fine, self hosting email is hard now beacuse you are getting blocked if you are using big tech servers.
XMPP has it's own problems, not really pleasant user experience etc. But yes, facebook first embraced it the cut you off anyone you had on messenger.
If this happens, meta will takeover fedi.
Same how google killed xmpp, how big tech killed email. Meta and big tech are just too powerful and they can destroy, takeover fedi with resources they have.
Tbh, I never saw that. I'd rather argue with commie tankies all day, and look through their posts then see meta and big tech ripping apart fediverse.
I just subscribe to things I'm intersted in so that's way I don't see extermist content or any other content I don't wanna se. And no this doesn't mean "i can just block threads myself for myself" because it is just individual action that on big scale has no effect at all.
Which still doesn't mean fedi should cooperate with meta or any other big tech, I dare to say not even with any company.
i'd argue its better for software to max foss license like AGPL, not bsd that can be taken out by companies
