📢 CALL TO FEDIVERSE Tons of discussion about seeking alternatives to #Microsoft #Github, now that it has become part of MS's #AI division. What made GH so popular, we should ask? Well, a ton of features and services on top of #git and a huge platform that makes exploring millions of #FOSS projects easy, are among the reasons I suppose. The #ActivityPub @ForgeFed project funded by #NGI0 via @npub1n8y6...l96n is creating open standards to provide the same, *native* to the #fediverse! Yet they need HELP.

#Ethics-at-scale in #FOSS. Who cares? FOSS: "I made actor identity independent of DNS" FOSS: "Nice! I bridged all the social web protocols" FOSS: "And I made service development dead easy, intuitive and productive" Fedizen: "This is so wonderful. What a cozy place we have" Meta: "We agree! We embraced the technology and today announce free fediverse access for anyone. Our datacenters are primed and ready for a billion more fedizens. That's not all! With Service Mart you're in full control!"
