The continued cratering of Twitter, and the joy of discovering open alternatives. Lars and many others find themselves on the open and federated Mastodon instead of Twitter, having a great time, and feeling more excited about open systems than in a long time.On the level of individuals, owning and controlling your own data feels back in fashion, but there is even more to dig into on the level of large organizations.Perhaps when GDPR says no and the good spirit of the internet is strong, there is a chance for municipalities and other public sector organizations to get and help build open alternatives to the closed, proprietary, and often hair-raisingly expensive and poorly received software they have today?Lars sees exciting business opportunities, better software for all, as well as the interesting challenges of navigating tender processes and plain old corruption.LinksMastodongenserver.socialfosstodon.orgRuby on railsPostgreSQLObject storageRedisPleromaAkkomaglitch-soc - "Mastodon Glitch Edition" - where Mastodon UI discovers new featuresGlesys' object storagePeerTubePixelfedActivitypubSpaceX rockets exploding compilation videoWebTorrentElement and MatrixeSamMattermostSPF - Sender policy framework - email authentication methodSkolplattformenOffentlighetsprincipenQuotesElon happenedA very straight path to somewhere elseAs open as emailSatiate my doomscrolling needsA Twitter on IRCI don't trust the ecosystem under my feetLectured about a culture I'm not inTeams was dubbed illegalvideos.varberg.seThe good spirit of the internetGDPR says no!People softwareYou have people living in youI want "Svenska IT-myndigheten"Pointless, annoying, and wasteful
