Looks like I’ll be checking that out.

We all have limits. For some communicating with those who tolerate genocide is alright, for others using their software is fine, and for even others they will happily give money to them à la “it’s not me, so why should I care?”. But if the number of people who don’t care is not enough to sustain that software development, it will have an effect. We can wait to see if we get that far or do something about it.

I’ll check out Piefed and Mbin as that seems to be most common answer here.

I write opensource software, I donate to opensource, I use opensource. I however can’t do everything. That is why the question is “we” not “hey @gerowen@piefed.social why don’t you make a fork, you lazy bastard”. Code is not the only way to contribute to a project and I’m willing to donate to lemmy alternatives while it is still possible for me.

Piefed might be where I start donating. Gotta check it out first.

OK, let’s say somebody who hates you to the core and wants to see you dead made software you found great. All they said was stuff like “I think your kind deserves to be shot”, “your kind are subhuman”, “they hung your kind and I see nothing wrong with that”.

Would you use their software? Would you enjoy being part of the numbers that they use to validate getting money, maybe even power? Would you publicly promote their software? Would you get others to use it? Would you even donate to them? Would you get others to donate to them?

I’ll check it out. Thanks.

OK, thanks. I guess I’ll be migrating to those and setting up a donation - if they don’t use Github sponsors.

Usually it is as this point things turn to shit in opensource/community/fediverse/cooperative. The devs are not the product.

What does this even mean? Who creates something doesn’t matter at all? If that’s the case, then using Microshaft products doesn’t matter, does it? They can provide the infra and software for bombing Gaza but who cares right? They make software that is worth using so we should keep giving them money. No problem.

It will become a problem for us if lemmy isn’t funded, won’t it?

Had no idea, thank you!

Do Lemmy and PieFed support transferring subscriptions?

What do you mean by better?

So in your world, I could spam the network with CSAM, gore, rape, and everything else and it would be up to a small group of people to filter that out for the rest so they can subscribe to what that small group thinks is appropriate?

Phoronix commentors will be furious.

Because Microsoft

Extremely. The constant purity checks of “this is not opensource because this org said so” is like bible thumping. “The good book of Christ says this is how the world is made and it is sacrilege to claim otherwise”.

This researchxxl person then also released a new version Synthing-Lite on fdroid.

I’m so confused by this situation. Updates to syncthing-fork have been disabled. Doesn’t seem trustworthy at the moment.

Why has Lemmy had such problems with this and piefed, the new kid on the block, just makes it work? I’ve been subscribed to the linux experiment since I joined and it simply doesn’t work. The last video I see here is from 2 years ago.

How are people still on xitter? Is this dude a nazi?

Why not opensource it and put the data in a torrent?

Wich ones did you apply to? Just so that we don’t recommend the same ones you’ve tried…
