I’ve revised and reimagined my post on building a better social world—because I am optimistic we’re doing something, together. https://t.co/PiMtXRJ5Vf

Hi! In case you, like the TechCrunch organizers, missed the memo that I’m not here anymore: I’m @lu.is on one app whose mere mention will get me down ranked on this “free speech app” and @luis_in_brief at social coop on another.

On a panel about open, security, and maintenance at TechCrunch Disrupt today. I am sorely tempted to conspicuously read The Challenger Launch Decision by Diane Vaughan in the green room. (Is this a tweet about tech, politics, or your decision to stay on Twitter? both.gif)

Added a 🦋 link in my bio.

As usual, I mostly won’t be here; you can find me discussing this on other sites.

Here’s the survey itself, in all its 63(!) pages of data-driven glory; read through to (among other things) see how many maintainers are getting paid post-CRA and post-WH summit (lolsob), and what paid maintainers do with the extra time (good stuff):

It’s that time of year again, where I share somewhat depressing graphs about the state of FOSS maintenance—and sometimes even some good ones about what we can do, collectively, to change things!

From dorm room Linux installations to safeguarding global open source infrastructure! Join Open at Intel host @katherined and Tidelift's @luis_in_brief as they discuss the high-stakes world of open source governance and maintainer burnout. #opensource👇 https://t.co/o5rNqP5Jox

Old tweets are mostly all deleted. It’s been real.

Two things: 1️⃣ I’m livetooting #wikimania over on Fedi (link in bio so I don’t get filtered) 2️⃣ I’ve started the process of deleting 30,000 tweets. It’s been fun, see you on the non-fash parts of the net.

and by not supporting fascists, I mean leaving this site.

Feels like a good day to come here and remind people that you can just… stop supporting fascists.
