#FOSS community. How much did WE vote democratically for current #fascism trends, with the wallet of our ergonomic coding keyboards?

#FOSS has failed as a concept. It's software ate the world.. and runs #BigTech #fascism now.
How much of our #WorkingInPublic and #SoftwareFreedom was gratis fundamental #innovation and applied #OpenScience, that is oh so bad for revenue. Gladly delegated to volunteer losers who can work on just #morals and values that're alien to #corpo?
"We granted them ELECTORALLY! It is OUR f*cking fault! YES!! And the constant drumbeat of encroaching fascism will ERODE OUR CREDIBILITY if we.. hopefully IF, and not when.. it HITS"-- John Stewart

Do not reinforce a purity spiral, and see your activism only backfire. Let's not make the 1933 mistakes again, as history rhymes.

A “complete unraveling of the social fabric of society” is one of the primary dangers that led to the founding of The Center for Humane Technology by Tristan Harris et al.Humane Tech Community

•It is time to move on from #FOSS..
Let FOSS just be the licensing and copyright protection part. The software freedom assurance.
I will use #SOSS from now on to refer to Sustainable open social systems / software / services that are commons-based.
I will use working-in-public and weaving-in-public. But in addition I wll do #WorkingInCommons, the collaboration environment and technological ecosystem, where #sustainability first approach is followed at any one time. So the commons has control.
