#GitHub should make issues and discussions disabled by default when creating a new project. #FOSS doesn't mean it comes with support or warranty (and all OSS licenses explicitly state that it doesn't) and you shouldn't expect individual developers (and especially newcomers that don't know what features and why they should disable) moderate communities around their projects, help everyone with everything, and fix all reported issues.
The project has been running for over ten years and operates with an #openprocess. Users can become mods after being involved for a period of time. The modding process is based on a clear project statement and encourages a respectful and inclusive community.
The #OMN is related to the #visionontv project, a grassroots media project that creates and distributes independent video content. The two projects share values and goals in promoting alternative media and challenging mainstream narratives.
The @sovtechfund is offering grants to people who contribute to a sustainable open source ecosystem. Grants go up to €300,000 per application and cover three main topics:
Improve FOSS Developer Tooling
Securing FOSS Software Production
FOSS Infrastructure Documentation
With this program the Sovereign Tech Fund seeks to stimulate an open digital infrastructure: fundamental technologies that enable the creation of other software.
Pouring money down the drain, because the majority of the problems in the #Fediverse and the #openweb are social not technical - if they only fund technical parts of this culture they are feeding the "problem" and this problem is going to pour the resources down the drain.
I understand this is a hard conversation to have, we have to try.
First step is #4opens, WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE PUSHING MESS while doing "good", step into the light please #openprocess
yes, I understand the fear this creates and the desire to #block, but this then makes the #4opens fail more visible if people wont to use this for the needed change and challenge if they don't yes it's more noise what are you signal or noise :)
