What are your thoughts on boycotting using the US dollar? Moral perfectionism in a capitalist society is a difficult road. I urge a more pragmatic approach over dogmatic, and just volunteering or performing mutual aid in your community. Or create open source software yourself.
The US dollar is a state-controlled monopoly, not a voluntary tool like GitHub. The point isn't moral perfectionism: it's about divesting from optional systems that actively weaponise open source.
Nobody needs to quit GitHub overnight, but ask why we hold open source to lower ethical standard than our coffee or clothes.
GitHub/MS bans developers from sanctioned countries while selling AI services to militaries. If we only resist when it's cost-free, we're not resisting: we're outsourcing our ethics to Microsoft.
Lemmy is optional, and the project is hosted on Github.

I'll have to deal with Lemmy (and Mastodon) too, but one thing at a time. My plan is to be intentional but to pace myself.
