Greetings, fellow digizens of the self-hosted world. I've spent considerable time pondering the relationship between Open Source and Anarchy.
As a coder and an enthusiast of decentralized systems, I often see Open Source as a haven of freedom and self-governance, a space where hierarchy dissolves into a shared ownership of ideas and creations.
This brings to mind the principles of Anarchy, where power is decentralized and the collective rules.
But let's be honest. Sometimes, Open Source feels more like a wannabe rock star, a lot of hype with a record deal that doesn't quite hit the right notes.
It led me to wonder: Is the parallel I draw between Open Source and Anarchy a fair one, or is it a misplaced association?
If this is too far off-topic, just let me kniw and I shall remove it!
Revolt had us all intrigued, but without federation, it's like a pizza without the cheese.
Enter, Matrix and Element - FOSS, decentralized, and yes, federated.
Element, built on Matrix, provides real-time communication with end-to-end encryption. But voice channels, alas, still our Achilles heel.
Yet, remember, we're the pioneers of this brave new digital world. A federated voice solution may not exist now, but give it time. We've got some amazing and selfless coders chomping at the bit!
