I think Free Software licenses are great and the rest is just pure competition of merits.
We can reduce the activity to just being better than proprietary. For this, we need to be really creative. Just Replacing twitter with something else is one simple idea but certainly just a beginning of our brainstorming. - Email is a dominant protocol but there are many service providers. Can we do something similar for public messaging? I have this mastodon thing and I have been a computer programmer for 30 years but I still can't figure out how it works at all. The whole thing is very cryptic. What's wrong here? - It seems that certain public do want censorship according to their taste - how do we enable this? This is a kind of feature that favors Free Software version because when it comes to any control or empowerment, the owners of proprietary systems insist they and only they have a leg up. - Advertisements are very annoying. Free Software versions can remove them? - Can we create a 'crowd development' systems development model designed to work with thousands of software designers, specification writers, programmers and so on. - Free Software movement seems quite weak on getting involved with the much larger community of the general public. Can we do better? etc. Oh man, this gets me very excited! Monopoly systems becoming obsoleted by new paradigms are very normal around the computer circle - can Democratic Software movement do the same against the incumbent oligarchical systems? 😄 -Yasu > On Apr 30, 2022, at 20:46, Jean Louis <bugs@gnu.support> wrote: > > * Thomas Lord <l...@basiscraft.com> [2022-04-29 17:49]: >> This is an opportunity to greatly expand the number >> of people who use free software, and to help them >> learn why it - and why resisting untrustworthy >> websites - is valuable.
