Imagine there was a software collective. A group of people that collaborated on different projects, helped each other, and built a better future together. What would you do? What would you work on? What would you contribute?

This isn't a hypothetical. Fedi, please add your own reply and boost this post for reach (thank you in advance). I want to find the people that believe such a thing is possible and want to be a part of it.

EDIT:

From the amazing responses people have given, it is clear that there are a lot of folks who would love to work together! You've all given me so much hope that a better future is possible, together. To facilitate the realization of this cooperative effort, I have put together a form so I can start pulling people in!! It is pretty short and only helps me understand who you are, why you want to join, and how I can contact you. Give it a few minutes of your time and I'll be in touch!

@san It's not implemented yet, but do want to implement it sometime. Encryption is fine and not a problem for it.

@LJ I can understand that. The hiss and the resonance are pretty uncomfortable, and the heavier the vehicle the nastier it sounds.

@hacks4pancakes I swear, it feels like a toddler, only worse because of the stakes, and actively malicious instead of just developing like kids do.

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).

the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.

another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.

size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

New from Justin Miller: In 2027, Gina Hinojosa will begin navigating power as a governor who will have, in many ways, a more diminished authority.

While her electoral mandate is strong, she lacks her predecessor's control of state agencies and faces a divided legislature. https://www.texasobserver.org/gina-hinojosa-governor-powers-greg-abbott/

The thing that is happening right now which is worse than the war in Ukraine is the genocide in Sudan. The piles of murdered children, women and men can be seen from space. It's largely being funded by the UAE. But we hear nothing about this horrific conflict, isn't that mysterious.

Clearly some Democrats, including Pelosi, learned nothing.
