Open Source software in general has facilitated a massive transfer of wealth upwards over the past few decades. There are the tools and their histories, and then there are how we want to use them moving forward. We could certainly choose different software than Lemmy though.

Lemmy is cool conceptually, but FYI, since you're thinking about social change, the maintainers of Lemmy are fascist-sympathisers ("tankies" is the term to Google for).

Awesome. I'll have to try to make it to an upcoming event.
I was thinking about setting up either a Matrix server for chat, or a Lemmy server for a reddit-like set of discussion forums.

Count me in! I have been working on a book on the topic for a few years on and off. Fyi just about every meeting of Robot Club turns into one of those sort of discussions. We meet at technocopia Saturdays 1-4.

Hey folks,
At dinner after the last meeting we had an interesting conversation around the intersection of software/technology and big picture social change. This has been an area of interest of mine for a while now, and I'd love to connect with other people who would be interested in talking about ways to make meaningful change.
Would anyone be interested in joining a discussion on something like Discord, Slack, or maybe an open source alternative?
