I am actually looking forward to hearing from the people here. Yeah Low-effort I know.

But I think this is an important topic to discuss, considering how much of the FOSS community is kept afloat by unpaid & volunteer-labour.

I am especially looking forward to any discussions of possible solutions

    As the economy fucks over the masses more and more in the late stage of capitalism, time for volunteering/hobbies will reduce.

    Much like with Wikipedia, what’s needed is to centralize, work together on standards, and stop branching off with DIY.

        The power, maybe. Maybe our efforts should be collective, though; one wiki maintained by many is probably better than a lotta wikis maintained individually.

        Unless you’re doing a joke, in which case haha yeah capitalists can centralize deez
