Initial response to @pluralistic regarding #FreeOurFeeds

Want to thank Cory Doctorow for answering questions about his support for Free Our Feeds here:

https://pluralistic.net/2025/01/14/contesting-popularity/#everybody-samba

What follows is a response in the form of a list of concerns about FOF.

Cory rightly took exception to the "scolding" tone of some of the discussion so far. It is hoped that here, at least, we can keep it focused on the substance of this issue.

So, here goes...

It sounds a little bit from your list of questions that this could be aimed at forcing blue sky’s hand to either piss or get off the pot.

Hadn't thought of that, but it would be good if they did. Suspect that just kicking the can is working for them, so why change?

Well, that might be the result. I’m a little uncomfortable. The idea that such a substantials has been raised for this effort. It may be there you know business parties would like to see The promises fulfilled, So maybe that’s all good, but I can’t help also feeling it would be really nice to have that money invested in the fediverse..

Not that much money has been raised yet. The GoFundMe lusts $39,000. So they have a way to go.

Still, $39,000 would be enough for several Fedi instances to operate for a year.

Right I must’ve glanced at this earlier in the day half asleep because I thought there were a couple more zeros on that still 39K is great. That’s worth a couple of months of programming
