Talking to the person behind https://spreadmastodon.org/ Had a look through his https://bluem.ventures/ list of projects, it’s all Slacktivism - Wikipedia and #NGO pushing.SocialHub

This is a fundamental "democratic" problem that we don't have a solution for.

@Hamishcampbell said:
"I tend to agree that the current #FOSS model is inadequate for stopping co-option,"
Great. Our positions are getting closer. I totally do not trust Amazon, Facebook and Twitter to not misuse my open source software. Do you?
In a coop, all members have to agree to the rules, or there are legal consequences. Makes much more sense to me.
On the subject of licences there are many views google.com/search?client=firef… I tend to agree that the current #FOSS model is inadequate for stopping co-option, but it's the tools we have, and we need to use it, at the #OMN add a social side to this tool, the #4opens this has POWER if people use it.
Yes, software can/should be owned and operated by #coops as #FOSS code, so they are adding to the coding "commons" this bridges the more traditional vertical thinking to work in hand with the grassroot thinking.
They can be complementary with shared FOSS licences
#openweb power that is impossible for the traditional closed source world to reproduce.
This is about CONTROL and TRUST we have this chose in the wider world hamishcampbell.com/?s=control
Good news in #FOSS anyone?
