Any "Decentralized" Solution that is not F.O.S. free and opensource was never "Decentralized" at all.

Even their web and mobile clients are FOSS

The FUD and misinformation on here about Bluesky an AT is wild

MIT≠FOS

GNU is Free and forever free software... MIT not so much.

Point being, any forks of GNU will have a free version available, MIT carries no such limitation... making it a corpo favorite.

You can call it open source, but Free and Open source is questionable.

I feel like we're splitting hairs here. MIT is an extremely permissible license. The fact someone could take this and make a closed source fork doesn't affect the existence or openness of the MIT licensed releases

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
