@rra 👍 I will continue donating to lurk but indeed that alone won't stop anybody with the admin password to sell the data corpus, and won't force the Mastodon project to implement encrypted "direct messages". The "founder" centered support for libre soft projects such as developing mastodon or hosting mastodon is the next obstacle to overcome the issues with the open source model.

 @shusha @despens Good questions! I think there is not that much precedent although there are some forms of collective organizing to draw from. So best to try out and see? But indeed there is a need to have an organized influence in the development of the software other than creating issues and hoping for the best. Ideally this would encourage a diversity of solid implementations. |
@despens @rra good points. I also like the idea of user-unions. I heard many questions about decision making about further development (the call for QT is one of them).
So I wonder what would be a good thing to try out? I also ponder over how a union and a federated network would go together, or are we talking federated unions?
