Do you think opensource + Fediverse will develop into some kind of political force/movement in the next years? - eviltoast

I thought about this already for a while and with Lemmy and Mastodon the opensource community has a place to really try itself out and coordinate. Then even things like open-source planning-systems (like at Amazon) and AIs are possible.

At least in Germany there is currently no really political movement that could be described as left-libertarian at least seriously. Maybe the Fediverse could be the root for something like that.

Or will the Fediverse will become more like the new landscape of the internet, which encompasses everything and in which every party will need to move and have a certain stance to somehow?

    You are currently engaged in politics.

    Your decision to be scared of politics is a political decision.

    As a human being living in any social structure, you will be subject to politics.

      If you redefine politics to the point of it being an utterly useless word, yes, you’re absolutely correct.

      Of course then you’re also absolutely useless to talk to.
