the client server architecture is one of the main problems in making computing exclusionary and elitist

People should be able to publish from their devices, from within their homes

The assumption that you need to go through the mediation of a large organization on order to publish and express yourself is contrary to freedom of speech

@surveyor

this is just a small example

yesterday I ventured to post something with implications to the transgender issue and I was flooded with silly arguments, out of context interjections and a whole lot of general bullshit that lasted a day

so I experienced the transgender on line experience for a day

Often people interject having seen only one toot of a chain, tat doesn't help

Also I can have nee jerk reactions, that doesn't help either

@arunisaac

but I won't stop blogging

I already started a new blog post about this

It will tae some days because I gave to cllect some sources and citations and I' m a bit lushed, these days

But I will publish it, sooner or later

And it will make waves, I think

I won't be diplomatic this time

Not only federated services tend to centralization (as in smtp tends to be gmail)

I have a desktop, a laptop, a mobile phone and a quite powerful adsl

But it' s more difficult to have home servers. Both because of the money and because of the setup/management

With p2p services I could use my resources to be nodes in a network

With federated services it' s not that easy

In this regard it seems to me that only #GNUNet offers a possible perspective

@jordila

Be my guest !

This is the post http://catonano.v22018025836661967.nicesrv.de/the-opening-blog-post.html

the paragraph "No JavaScript whatsoever. Why ?"

I don't mention that explicitly but I point to some resources (the GNU guidelines and the Christopher Lemmer Webber post and my own post on the guix mailing list)

But the reason is that many npm packages cannot be built ffrom source. On npm there's the binary only

This is for many reasons

But many of them are not buildable

#Twitter suggested me a toxic sponsored tweet.

I made a crtitcal tweet urging people to join mastodon

Guess what ? Theh tweet can't be published

"qualcosa è andato storto means "something went awry"

About #Slack I want to mention that my favourite Free Software projects, #Guix and #Guile, both use mailing lists and (logged) IRC channels

I even linked some old email in those mailing lists in my blog

Also I suggest rreading this document about FLOSS projects using walled gardens comms systems (thank you to @clacke for the link)

@paulfree14 @Anna the GNU site has a section about how to help and there's a list of tasks there too https://www.gnu.org/help/help.html#develop

@jordila you might find this article intersting https://fsfe.org/freesoftware/enterprise/chargeofitsbrand

This is a very insightful and informative post about #FreeSoftware
