And a mindset like that is exactly why federated internet will always be a niche thing. “Dummy” is an arbitrary term. Everyone is a dummy in some regard.

“They” who? FOSS is quite a diverse community. If anything,i’ve seen a great deal of projects that used discord as their communication platform. Linux is practically the only project that i can name from the top of my head, that uses a decentralized communication platform. The most popular FOSS alternative to github is Codeberg (that’s my impression, at least).

Ngl, i don’t believe in the success of the federated internet. It would certainly be nice, yet the idea somehow doesn’t resonate with people that much

good for them.

I wonder how long it is till FOSS devs migrate from github en-masse. I bet there’d be far less amounts of bots spamming merge requests outside of github too

Ah yes, the fabled ‘Task succeded failurely’
