Latest SCOOP on #WSocial:
The European Commission Spokesperson for tech sovereignty Thomas Reigner just migrated his ATproto account from Bluesky (open source) to W Social (closed-source). How ironic!

And now excuse me as I go pick up my child from daycare. I'll be intermittently online for the rest of the day. Thank you for all your boosts and comments!

@patrislav @bert_hubert That would be almost as weird as having an open source conference sponsored by Google
What's up with FUTO? // Drew Devault
｢ they make a point of criticizing the Open Source Initiative for banning Eric S. Raymond (aka ESR) from their mailing lists, citing right-wing reactionary conspiracy theorist Bryan Lundukeâs blog post on the incident ｣

In the mean time, the FSF made a clear statement on the Onlyoffice â EuroOffice case: https://u.fsf.org/4b2
Indeed, one can not add arbitrary terms to the (A)GPL and claim that ones software is under that license. If an added term represents a "further restriction", anyone is allowed to remove that restriction.
(A)GPL licenses are made to preserve software freedom, not for actors to use them for open washing, claiming to be open yource while trying to take a way freedoms from users at the same time.

A fluff view of current tech we need to compost
You know, when people are heading over a cliff, I'm more than happy to be "left behind". This story is #openwashing, not innovation. âNew European social networkâ is actually a fork of #Bluesky wrapped in sovereignty language, as Elena Rossini says with the same #dotcons logic - PR-first launch (Davos), reality comes later (or never). This tech mess illustrates, if people start with branding, funding, and media narrative instead of community and process, itâs not #openweb - itâs [âŚ]https://hamishcampbell.com/a-fluff-view-of-current-tech-we-need-to-compost/
