I think this is exactly the disconnect: not everyone shares your vision of what the internet should become.

What’s really funny to me, is you go on this say that your vision is ‘correct’. Clearly people disagree with yours. Please stop using chat gpt to sound more inflated than you already are.

Not everyone wants it to be more populated for population sake. Why should I care how many MAU we have.

You say you want the good parts, but chat got isnt telling you how to keep them. By keeping it small. If you want large and popular, go back to reddit. Not every place has to be the most popular.

Ai disclosure?

You should as a rule read community rules before posting your projects.

Your missing the disclosure in your title

I’m not saying it didn’t happen, but given the rest of the message, I have trouble taking it on good faith.

Being an open source dev requires thicker skin than you’d think, and even thinker than most people have.

Either you go the community route where you build a loyal user base, listen to feedback, and have q community of contributors as well.

Or you go the ‘I made something cool for me, and its open so anyone can use it too!’

The former is sustainable, the later is not if you domt maintain the idea that its yours first and only.

Once you start half listening to people using your stuff, but believe what you want is right, starts to isolate you.

You think all your users are stupid for their feature requests, because you don’t need it. Plus you alone are in charge. Its your repo.

This ego can continue to inflate to this point. I’ve seen it in both closed and open source (anyone remever when the FSLabs A320 for Microsoft flightsim with malware? Just me?.. Okay).

But this is by no means new.

And all 3 hinge on the premise of courts will do ‘sane’ things, without any kind of justification for them. So yeah, all 3 are moot if you remove that assumption.

So how much money should be risked on that bet?

No, you made a large assumption that this holds up in court completely, predicated on the idea that anything but would be disastorus.

I don’t buy that premise, and neither does codeberg. So again, why should they put money up in that assumption?

So then why are you asking other people to on your behalf?

There is a good chance that LLMs are sufficiently transformative that courts will decide they don’t infringe the copyright of their sources.

How much money are you willing to put in to test that?

What’s stopping you from doing it yourself? Be the change you want to see.

What phone do you have?

Android has findroid and iOS has SwiftFin. Both native.
