I'm Arnold Schrijver (he/him). Social coder. #FOSS, #HumaneTech and #SocialWeb advocate. I help foster #Solutions that improve #Wellbeing, #Freedom and #Society Let's #ReimagineSocial and envision a #Peopleverse where archipelagos, built by the #Commons, unfold the #HumanWeb. Delightful Realms of Creation, where only our dreams may hold us back. Previously at: [@humanetech](https://mastodon.social/@humanetech ) Boosts and favourites do not imply endorsement. #fedi22
Nearing 2026, I reflect on all those 💕 lovely passionate people I've met since I joined this delightful commons. FOSS, fediverse, social impact movements. Rich cultures thrive. It proves to me Rutger Bregman's words ring true: "Most people are pretty decent". Same credo I've styled my life around. Fear not dear commons. 🧶 Weave! ✨ We will ignite! 🌞 Bring sunshine where it poors! 🌈 Based on hope, we find solutions. You brought me here today, Where futures are bright, We row mystic fedi flows. image
#ThoughProvoker :blobhyperthink: The (emergent) strategy of the #FOSS movement as a whole is "Make FOSS, change the world". And it worked. 9 trillion of value to the corporate business world and big tech. You can do a lot with that money, and indeed change the world.
