@humanetech@mastodon.social @ArneBab@rollenspiel.social @blacklight@social.platypush.tech I think a very tiny subset of developers do FOSS. You need a strong moral compass, and that is exceptionally rare. I think it's important for people who care about FOSS serve their own first, before trying to serve others, or you'll just see your own community die out.

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
