ForgeFed nails the current dilemma in open source:

> Without federation, we end up having to choose between:
>
> * Centralizing into huge profit-oriented websites, where we're powerless
> * Hosting our code on a small website where we're in control and freedom but isolated from the community

This is a critically important project.

Free Software – like #LibreOffice – isn't about zero-cost (as nice as that is). The focus is on freedom to use your computer as you wish, and take back control of your data. We were recently at Software Freedom Day in Delhi, for instance: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource

The combination of rapidly-improving technologies like GNOME, Flatpak, Wayland, and Portals also means our active privacy protections are also better than ever before.

I went on to write:

>If and when we are able to develop an open, peer reviewed, industry-respected method of responsible and privacy-first telemetry, we may consider doing so.

While that post was in the context of elementary OS, I believe every word I wrote.

I’ve spent a long, long time thinking about ethical software, the challenges we *necessarily* give ourselves compared to closed competitors, and crucially, how to overcome those challenges.

Four and a half years ago, I wrote:

>respecting your privacy is the ethical thing to do; users have a fundamental right to the utmost privacy, even from companies and products they trust.

That’s as true as ever.
