@stage7 in theory people could take something like #0BSD and add a #antifascist clause of 161 words to it, creating i.e. "#161BSD"…

• Generally one could freely choose a #license pending it's not in conflict with any #upstream / #dependencies if applicable…

#NotLegalAdvice OFC, but unless your license has a #Copyleft clause re: it's #antifascist terms it's more of a symbolic gesture trivially undone by constantly #forking it!

@adisonverlice @nick precisely.

• Whereas @delta couldn't hand over any data even if they wanted to and since it's #FLOSS any attempts at i.e. hardcoding a #backdoor or #blocking domains would be trivial to detect and undo by virtue of #forking.

• Whereas with @signalapp one has to rely on @Mer__edith et. al.'s promise that the code they release - regardless if app but esoechally backend - is the code they run.

Which is doubtful at best aka. "#TrustMeBro!" - level of guarantee…

• Also #Signal's business is unsustainable as unlike @monocles they don't recoup operational costs from their users but act as #VCmoneyBurningParty, and that will inevitaboy backfire…

@nixCraft The problem is that @mozillaofficial refuses to acknowledge that #Firefox and it's promise of #privacy and #openness is their "core #product" and that many people, including myself, will #divest and #boycott any #donations to them until they apologize and undo the harm they pushed with "#AI" / #LLM - based #Enshittification.

• And if that means we'll have the same situation as with #OpenOffice, #Solaris and #ZFS, (where #Oracle basically "mobbed" #developers into #forking-off into @libreoffice, #illumos and @openzfs ), then so be it.

In fact, I hope #Firefox gets handed over to @torproject and #TorBrowser becomes the new #Upstream!
