A colorful image showing 8 global switch suggestions presented in three columns. Upper left is the fediverse logo with text Join the fediverse #globalswitchday. In total we see 16 platform logo's in their respected brand color and underneath each logo the name of the platform. All switch combinations have an arrow in the middle pointing to the right (from to). In the left column: X to Mastodon, Facebook to friendica. In the middle column WhatsApp to Signal, Instagram to Pixelfed and YouTube to PeerTube. In the right column: Reddit to Lemmy, Facebook Messenger to Signal and TikTok to loops.video.

That means very little to me. Actions speak louder than words, and it would probably help the development of loops if it was actually open source.

    Made by the same dev as Pixelfed, which did a similar thing.

    Which I think dansup should deserve our trust on this for quite a long time for doing. It isn't empty promises if they already made Pixelfed and opensourced it.

    Like.. I suppose it could be a grift, anything could but I see no reason to question their goals or motives.

    For a lot of FLOSS projects, it's common to keep the initial team small, so a product can be delivered fast, and gets opened up later.

    It's to solve the "too many cooks" and prevent bikeshedding.

    A lot of corpo espionage is there solely to tank potential competitors, which include FLOSS projects.
