That’s kinda unfair to the people who work in legacy code-bases to improve decentralized or federated tools in little, hard-earned steps.

Who are often the same people who *also* build cooler federation libraries in Guile, because that’s more fun. Gotta have a hobby. Just need to keep in mind which of these to PR.

It’s not a mere coincidence that
@dustyweb from#Mediagoblin *also* works on#Guix with Guile (@guilelang), or that I work on@freenetproject *and*#Guile#Wisp.

Given that we already had/have decentralized/egalitarian messaging (email), social media (usenet), chat (irc, jabber) etc, and nobody could be bothered to use it without the now usual manipulation to increase "engagement", i kinda understand the metal retreat into "pure" tech.

Most people were using these. But the new arrivals who came with their new tools (smartphones) which lacked good interfaces to the old decentralized tools where grabbed by people farmers for a profit — because those were faster than the free software activists.

Way before twitter, when ICQ and alternative clients were a thing, i once heard someone refer to an open source client as "imaginary" ("ausgedacht" in ger). He meant "not official", but to me, that captures the sentiment i have to work against when trying to make non-nerd-tools.
