It depends. Someone who is very active in the community and wants to take on the task of migrating, moderating, and keeping communities healthy are encouraged to do it.

For adoption, having 5 instances with 1000 people each is much better than 1000 instances with 5 people each.

Probably beats Hemköp coffee at least, I will have to see if I can get some next time I am there! Reddit refugees are always welcome!

Personally I think that in the modern age they add what is missing from text conversations: intonation.

If you are sarcastic, joking, serious, etc… it can add a lot of social context.

Lol, getting 10 thousand users to slightly inconvenience themself even to stand against things that directly effect them is difficult. Imagine trying to get billions to do it for a slightly indirect possible effect on megacorps.

There are probably half a billion people alone that would gladly lick the boot of any mega corporation that demanded it.

Of course! Documentation and build guides/BOMs are what I am working on now. I never realized how much of a pain a full assembly guide is 😂

For the last 6 months I have been working on a completely open flight stick design. Just me working on it. DIY hotas sticks is a pretty damn niche hobby.

6 axis, 32 button, based on the MiG31 design, with a front panel on the base (on this design).

Not the most cost efficient vs quality as everything is 3D printed. Honestly it is my second big 3D modeling design and it was a pretty complicated one to get right. Ran into a lot of FreeCAD bugs. First time working with libopenCM3 also, so much less bloated than STM HAL. Plenty of improvements to come once it is released.

Open hardware with the CERN OHL V2 S and the firmware GPL3.0. Edit: forgot to link it - https://github.com/JustEnoughDucks/LibreMiG-S

Some of the tech was very good too. But all forms of nazis still deserve to be beat down
