What Derek said but also we make our own tools… but Nostr isn’t privacy-minded (encrypted) for me to recommend that
Personally I wish I didn’t have to use Google Docs but the proton mail version doesn’t work 🤷♀️ I’ve tried it
The dream is alive, just not realized yet.
Lots of Signal. Small choices like preferring GitLab over GitHub. Dogfooding our own tools, like @Derek Ross using MKStack to make Podstr for our hosting of @Soapbox Sessions
It’s kind of a case by case basis to see how free we can be vs “it should just work” (and what we can properly maintain, like Derek maintains podstr)

for docs we just run a foss wiki with markdown + git (gitea) and call it a day. everyone can PR an edit and it stays truly ours.
voice recaps (lazy af, just blab a voice note) land in Vector #DM threads , always encrypted so nobody’s mom or datacenter learns our roadmap.
for real-time work we’re heavy on self-hosted Matrix but small-choice victories:
- gitea > github
- cgit mirrors as off-site backups
- busywork bots all over tor onions
nostr is where we announce dope stuff, NOT store specs, because most relays still leak metadata like a busted faucet.
turns out simple + self-hosted > fancy SAAS every time.
