In Free Software movement, time is the most precious commodity. There's tons of very valuable FOSS project to contribute to. An abundance of choice.
What the average crypto-averse person (including me) usually does is first 'skim' a new project that someone points out to them. If that project has 'red flag' terminology, then its often an immediate skip.
Holochain has been often advertised to me as "worthy to check out", but I always bounced on wording.

#Commons#AI#GenerativeAI#Chatbots#Copyleft#Google#Search: "Ostrom described how commons can be wisely managed, over very long timescales, by communities that self-governed. Part of her work concerns how users of a commons must have the ability to exclude bad actors from their shared resources.
When that breaks down, commons can fail – because there's always someone who thinks it's fine to shit in the well rather than walk 100 yards to the outhouse.
Enshittification is the process by which control over the internet moved from self-governance by members of the commons to acts of wanton destruction committed by despicable, greedy assholes who shit in the well over and over again.
It's not just the spammers who take advantage of Google's lazy incompetence, either. Take "copyleft trolls," who post images using outdated Creative Commons licenses that allow them to terminate the CC license if a user makes minor errors in attributing the images they use:" https://pluralistic.net/2024/05/09/shitting-in-the-well/#advon
"Welcome in the #commons sweat shop, my dear friend. Slave away with us until the whip of #Hypercapitalism wears you out. Here's a set of FSF quality approval labels to plaster on your work of hard labour."
"Thank you! Let's change the world then. I'll start burning myself out, right away.. 😍"
