Jun 25, 2026, 1:28 PMthe thing I learned from anubis is we should make free software as hard to exploit commercially as possible. anime art, political messages, sex references, uncomfortable history lessons.
the free software movement is revolutionary by nature, we should act like it.
@tyzbit You should check the Valetudo docs. They are... very different from the tone of a friendly project like Home Assistant and include a lot of what you're describing

Jun 25, 2026, 2:42 PM@freek being unapolagetically controlling over your own project is slightly different than i mean but i still like what they're doing there. obviously, that project can do whatever it wants but what i'm thinking about is maintainers of "load bearing" open source projects adding things like support for Palestine or mocking one of the many tyrants we have marauding about.
one benefit is the concern trolls will emerge from the woodwork saying "we should be inclusive" or "this is divisive" as if evil should be given its fair say or that people's livelihoods who benefit from misery should be considered and those people can be banned earlier than if they integrate with the project and then (consciously or unconsciously) steer the project towards centrist "all-sides" shit or rightwing bullshit parading as decorum.
