@witchescauldron Yes, there is a #dictatorForLife element in FOSS but it is, around moreso the branding of a piece of software. The great thing with FOSS is people get to democratically choose their #benevolentDictator.

We saw this recently with the jump from Audacity to #Tenacity, from Gitea to #Forgejo.

When the community senses that the benevolentDictator has gone, they tend to move like starlings away from it.

Good thing then that the one "old superstition" the CCP dynasty really did eradicate from all *public* consciousness was about natural disasters causing the supreme despot's "heavenly mandate" getting revoked... 🫡
