@dansup Yes? As much as I welcome the downfall of capitalism it needs to be done one step a time. Having large companies be motivated to participate in open eco systems is a huge win over them being better funded and more successful silos.

There isnt any point in building something technologically pure that nobody uses.

@dansup I suspect the biggest thing anyone could do for the fediverse right now is to help make development sustainable / profitable.

Monetising pixelfed in an ethical sustainable way could help change the game

@dansup Do you use Open Source libraries in the software you build? Often libraries that did not exist until someone published them.

It feels like somewhat against the very spirit of open protocols and collaboration to be considering publishing something like that closed source, pulling the ladder up as it were.
