Bèr Kessels 🐝 🚐 🏄 🌱<p>This great rant by Rutger Bregman, applies entirely and fully to the <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> community.<br>And is, I'm convinced , the primary reason why e.g. the <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> isn't growing into that alternative for big-tech (or why Linux desktop never replaced Windows)</p><p>In-fighting. Binary purism. Religious fanatism and bullying of allies.</p><p>We shouldn't fight <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bluesky</span></a>, boycott <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/nostr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nostr</span></a> or bully instances that federate with <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/threads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>threads</span></a>. They are allies. Today. To get to the next step. </p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJefQ-PtpDG/?igsh=MWRvNzQzOTZpeG1jeQ==" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">instagram.com/reel/DJefQ-PtpDG</span><span class="invisible">/?igsh=MWRvNzQzOTZpeG1jeQ==</span></a></p>
