Joshua M 🇦🇺I would argue the greater mistake was rebranding <a href="https://linuxrocks.online/tags/freesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freesoftware</a> and forming a dull corporate entity known as the <a href="https://linuxrocks.online/tags/opensourceinitiative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opensourceinitiative</a>.

And yes, #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=OpenSim" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">OpenSim</a> is actually #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=decentralised" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">decentralised</a> like you wouldn't believe. <a href="https://www.hypergridbusiness.com/2023/04/number-of-opensim-grids-hits-record-high/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Over 420</a> big and small public grids and over 8,000 privately-run, home-hosted grids based on #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=DreamGrid" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">DreamGrid</a>, over 95% of which are on the Hypergrid, say a lot, I guess. Oh, and it needs no #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=blockchain" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">blockchain</a>, it needs no #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=cryptocurrency" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">cryptocurrency</a>, and it needs no #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=NFTs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NFTs</a>.

Jupiter Rowland@<a class="" href="https://qoto.org/@LouisIngenthron" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Louis Ingenthron</a> @<a class="" href="https://mastodon.social/@atomicpoet" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chris Trottier</a> Look beyond your bubble of .NET devs who came over from the birbsite over the course of the last six months. Look at those who have been here before the #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=TwitterMigration" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TwitterMigration</a>. Better yet, look at those who have been on #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Friendica" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Friendica</a> or #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Hubzilla" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hubzilla</a> before Mastodon even existed. The Fediverse was much different back then. People generally distrusted all of #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=GAFAM" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">GAFAM</a> (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft). They used Linux whenever and wherever they possibly could. They avoided commercial, corporate-owned, proprietary, non-free, closed-source software like the plague. Microsoft was actually considered the ultimate evil, also due to Steve Ballmer's attempted crusade of total annihilation against #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=FreeLibreOpenSourceSoftware" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FreeLibreOpenSourceSoftware</a>, Linux first and foremost. Devs coded in C, C++, PHP, Python etc., always either cross-platform and Linux-first or Linux-only, put their works under the GPL, the AGPL, the MIT license etc. and open-sourced them. They would never have touched C#, .NET or any other language that was owned by a big corporation and/or would have lead to Windows-only or Windows-first software with a 10-foot barge pole. And they never had to. Some Fediverse projects actually moved their code repositories from GitHub to Framagit, Codeberg or another non-corporate, non-commercial Gitea-based hoster after Microsoft took over GitHub.

This is particularly tempting on iOS where it's very difficult to offer #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=FreeLibreOpenSourceSoftware" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FreeLibreOpenSourceSoftware</a> because the Apple App Store makes it almost impossible to comply with certain #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=FreeSoftware" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FreeSoftware</a> licenses, and other app sources are basically illegal AFAIK. On Android, one could say that apps on the Google Play Store are either also available on F-Droid or closed-source spyware that secretly hands your private data over to Google and Facebook.
