    That means very little to me. Actions speak louder than words, and it would probably help the development of loops if it was actually open source.

      For a lot of FLOSS projects, it’s common to keep the initial team small, so a product can be delivered fast, and gets opened up later.

      It’s to solve the “too many cooks” and prevent bikeshedding.

      A lot of corpo espionage is there solely to tank potential competitors, which include FLOSS projects.

        Which I think dansup should deserve our trust on this for quite a long time for doing. It isn’t empty promises if they already made Pixelfed and opensourced it.

        Like… I suppose it could be a grift, anything could but I see no reason to question their goals or motives.
