if you are not following @FediFollows and checking their timeline for new people, communities and organizations to follow, you are not doing the bare minimum of #fediversing
yes, i verbbed #fediverse
if y’all have the coins, throw some their way, BUT! if y’all are part of the sundry organizations giving money to #FOSS initiatives, i urge you to think outside of the software development box. please fund the work of people and groups like FediFollows. without it, FOSS is just lines of code.

I think I'm going to transition from github to codeberg unless someone has a better alternative. I mean sure I could self host it as I already have git on my webserver but most of my stuff I want to be accessible by the public.
If anyone has any suggestions it would be most appreciated.
This toot got some interest and I'd like to learn more about filing taxes in a free and open way in the UK. A Lemmy community might be more appropriate for such a broad topic so I made one on the UK-centric feddit.uk:

Subscribe and share any thoughts on Making Tax Digital (both as individuals and businesses), filing taxes, accounting with free and open source software etc.

initiative. In particular how we as a community can continue to file our taxes
freely in terms of both: - Avoiding high fees and vendor lock-in to commercial
software - Maintaining user freedoms with free and open source software Our

Thank you soooo much for your trust Niels, Birthe and @wielinde! I’m still overwhelmed by the warm welcome I received, and by how intensely I experienced the human-centered culture from day one. It’s a true privilege to join the @openproject team!
For a sovereign digital world!
New on #TheFutureIsFederated 
"The Future is Federated: Year 2" - where I take a look back at a year of posts (and some cringy early ones), argue that the #Fediverse is collectivist in nature (as opposed to the individualism of Big Tech platforms) and discuss my plans for the future of this blog series... and what success for the Fediverse looks like to me (spoiler alert: slow organic growth and sustainability)

I can no longer listen to people complaining that there are no European #opensource alternatives to big tech products. It’s a myth! I want to contribute to the education of our society and to the creation of strong and open European alternatives. This is now more important than ever.
At @openproject we strongly believe in the #PublicMoneyPublicCode principle and I’m proud of it. As a European citizen I want my tax money to be spent consciously for the good of our society.
Continued thread
With @openproject we empower project teams to achieve great things together for the good of society. This mission resonates with me a lot and aligns with my personal leadership principles. I just love empowering people and seeing the magic happen!
Be the change you want to see in the world!
I want to shape the real digital sovereignty! I want to bring change to our society and not just talk about how important it is! This is why I’m excited and proud to join @openproject as a CPO.
