cohost-adjacent, FOSS 

The whole situation with cohost is IMO also an indictment of the broader FOSS community, which has clearly failed at effectively communicating to the general public *why* open systems matter (eg. possibility to correct governance issues), instead just presenting "well, it's open" as if that in and of itself is something people are expected to care about, without any understanding of how that materially improves their circumstances

why cohost is problematic (long) :boosts_ok_gay: 

@max Right. This is actually one reason why I'm skeptical of activist projects that are incorporated in the US in general - "non-profit" generally means a lot more in other countries, including some sort of legal obligation to act in line with the defined mission statement and/or public interest. That's really the bare minimum protection-from-corruption you'd need when incorporating into a hierarchical form.

(When I say "non-profit", that is also what I am referring to, not to the typical US incorporation forms or tax status)

Afternoon all! It's the second and final day of our open Q&A session, and the final day of our June fundraising push on opencollective.com/gotosocial.

Like yesterday, please feel free to drop any questions you have about GoToSocial in reply here, or in a separate post, or whatever you like, and we'll answer 'em!
