To an extent that is true, but without bridge-building FOSS will always remain this tiny subset. I don't dig the fact that only highly technical FOSS developers have a strong moral compass, and I think neither do you. By making us aloof, unreachable we don't allow people to cross the chasm and join forces. Then the weakness of FOSS becomes a self-fulling prophecy.

Now, I'm all in favor for each to have their own favorite tools. We should focus on better integrations

@humanetech@mastodon.social @blacklight@social.platypush.tech @ArneBab@rollenspiel.social I think the vast majority of developers have no moral compass. You don't need to be a developer, as I witness often at Linux user groups. People who are not technical but do have morals come around to ask for help from technical people. But those people still don't interact with source code of projects. The people a FOSS code forge aims for is this tiny subset you're talking about, technical and moral.

I'm certainly in favour of better integrations, to allow each their preferred tooling, however this usually means that optimized tools such as
#Sourcehut have to become worse to cater to the more popular alternatives such as #Github. If we had a good protocol for sharing issues and comments, we might have a chance, but currently we do not. That should be fixed first. For decentralized code sharing we already have git, even if Github tries to "teach" you to not use it in a decentralized way.
