I thought about this already for a while and with Lemmy and Mastodon the opensource community has a place to really try itself out and coordinate. Then even things like open-source planning-systems (like at Amazon) and AIs are possible.
At least in Germany there is currently no really political movement that could be described as left-libertarian at least seriously. Maybe the Fediverse could be the root for something like that.
Or will the Fediverse will become more like the new landscape of the internet, which encompasses everything and in which every party will need to move and have a certain stance to somehow?
Free Software started as a political movement about the rights of computer users to learn, share, and improve the systems we use. Open Source was the business-friendly depoliticized version.
It is fundamentally political. Political means advocating for policy, and decentralization is our policy we advocate for. The question is will it actually amount to anything.
The term “open source” was created to distance itself from the moral and political aspects of the already established term “free software” (free as in freedom). There are coordinated efforts to promote user’s software freedoms and the developers of copyleft, free software.
Lemmy is not your army

Anyone want to join a radical militia btw?
We have cookies.
Well, we will have cookies. Unless you guys are more a pizza crowd.
How about a cookie pizza?
Damn that’s the kind of thinking this militia needs, consider yourself promoted.
I would much rather eat pizza than have cookies, cookies are nice (but your data gets sold)
That’s the whole point… hackliberty.org!
