shout out to the lemmy developers for not making us be stuck on the other site
shout out to mastodon devs for making us have a better life than on Twitter
shout out to the pixelfed devs for allowing a actual photography platform to exist
shout out to the peertube devs for helping us not be stuck on youtube until the end of time
So someone else would work on that massive project unpaid? :)
Someone with much worse skill levels too, most likely… And for how long would they think it’s fun? Open source is like a full time job for a project like this. You have to be unemployed to do it.
I dont care what the devs believe politically. I’m grateful for their software. I dont need them to be Americans or to like the west. Because I understand they grew up in a very different society than most of us did.
