On Reddit it felt useless to comment, when I found an interesting topic the discussion was already drowning with one word comments and other useless stuff. Here on Lemmy the discussions feel more genuine. Probably it’s because the userbase is more mature, or the nature of Lemmy is not to generate money.

Yeah my browsing time has gone down compared to Reddit. But Lemmy has far less mindless content, if I’m on here I’m more engaged and actively read articles linked or write comments.

Never meant to defend oracle. I dislike them even more than IBM.

Here is the source blog post from oracle: https://www.oracle.com/news/announcement/blog/keep-linux-open-and-free-2023-07-10/

RedHat really fucked up with this move. I know RedHat employees and everyone from RedHat I met so far was proud they work there and how much open source meant to the company. I guess there will be more and more redhatters looking for new opportunities in the coming months.

RedHat needs to be profitable, and it’s getting harder and harder for them. RHEL is not their main product anymore. Everything is about Openshift and it’s Ecosystem. But Openshift is expensive.

Additionally are the European sub divions not happy how the last round of layoffs went.

Mastodon software is still open source under agpl-3. As far as I understand the license terms, every change to the software has to be open sourced. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Affero_General_Public_License)

mastodon gGmbH can still be sold, but my guess is that it won‘t be of much use to zuck.
