I recently wrote a post about opensource
https://ploum.net/2024-07-01-opensource_sustainability.html
According to my own standards, it didn’t receive much attention: not shared much on the fediverse, HN or Lobste.rs. No quick reactions.
But, 24h later, I’m starting to receive emails from real people telling me that it changed everything for them. They now see big corps differently. They will look at the AGPL.
Lesson:
We were ruined by "influencer metric". Truly influencing is completely different than what marketing told us.
