A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

That's not quite their position. They believe the OSI decides what counts as Open Source based on what benefits big tech who fund them. Basically, they think it's wrong to argue that something cannot be considered open source unless Google is allowed to use the free labour of contributers without restriction or payment.

They talk more about it here and here.

Personally I don't have a side in this fight but nothing I have seen has made me shy away from using their products.

Tbh it's the English language that decides what counts as Open Source. Free/Open Source software has been established for decades at this point. It's good that they changed the name to "Source First".

I think that better wording would be "the organization that doesn't believe that foss solves every problem". For project like immich AGPL is completely fine but for the android keyboard it might not be a good idea to allow Google to use it to abuse their customers.

It isn't open source or free software. There software prevents you from having the same rights as the parent organization. You can't fork the project if there is a big development shift you don't like so it is effectively proprietary.
