New #blog post: "FOSS projects, free lawyers, and reality"
This has been playing on my mind for a few days now.
I wish I had a better solution, but I don't: for FOSS projects, with no legal budget, finding suitably expert, experienced legal advice is a challenge.

Minun piti mennä jo tekemään pastasalaattia, mutta yksi juttu minun on pakko kertoa.
Minusta blogin kirjoittaminen on tärkeää. Tähän liittyy osittain kuurosokea Frans Leijonin tarina. Tositarinassa Frans ei päässyt itse kertomaan mitä ajatteli ja miten koki asiat silloin. Kaikki häneen liittyvä kirjallisuus perustuu muiden ihmisten kertomuksiin. Tästä syystä haluan kertoa oman tarinan itse. Minun omin sanoin. Ei kenenkään muun kirjoittamana.
Just as a reference to @deadsuperhero 's experience: I can report similar behavior on my #WordPress#Blog @mediathekperlen . It takes up to 5 minutes to process +/- 1600 followers for posts with no media other than the featured image (max. 1280x720px). WordPress freezes and even has Nginx to throw "not available" messages.
Not too big of a deal, since it recovers nicely after a while.

I was inspired recently by a conversation about Bluesky becoming a political echo chamber.
But, after some thought, I'm not sure the politics are the problem. I think it's the behaviour of the 'alternative' platforms.
If we can rethink how we communicate online, encourage people to be more respectful, to be politer, maybe we can fix the echo chamber issue. Maybe we could even fitx some of the big world issues?
