@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
have to become worse to cater to the more popular alternatives such as . 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.

If I look at my own journey into FOSS, it is not a one-off choice but a journey to understanding the culture and rationales. Why FOSS is important.

I was once a naive developer who only knew Github and was excited by all the 'free' services thrown my way.

Didn't I have a moral compass? Of course, I had. I was just ignorant, and very slowly became a bit wiser.

And I am still learning, still a more humble admirer of ideals we're after. And practitioner.
