what was stopping them from doing this previously? Isn’t this just government virtue signaling?

I have two degrees in music theory and a masters in English

Oh you poor baby. You remind me of my college roommate junior year, everyone knew he was gay except him.

The good thing about Free Software is you are never at the mercy of a single provider. If you and your friends like Lemmy, you can always use lemmy. The amount of content might not be what it once was, but you are welcome to use and change, or pay someone else to let you use/change, the service forever. (Like pump.io used to be the whole #Fediverse and now identi.ca is little more than a internet graveyard save me 4 bots, and six people that cross post to Mastodon, but even it may come back now that /u/@evan indicated he’s adding ActivityPub to it now that its all the rage.

if they do, you can just folow them for here right? Or does lemmy.world have less features than kbin.social?

how can one enjoy working close source? You are welcome to keep your devlopment private, rather than putting it on an open source development protal like GitHub, and just release it under the GPL so the rest of us can learn from your work, without you having to put up with annoying “developers” on the internet.

Do you have a public git for this?

I mean, the url literally contains shit.

Implement ActivityPub, or I I suppose another protocol like Nostr, Ostatus, pump.io, or Diaspora*, and join the fediverse. Preferably publishing their code under the AGPL, but even if they kept it as non-free software I’d still probably get back on. I suppose if they did end-to-end security truly decentralized, like Scuttlebutt or Status, I’d do that too.
