The logo of the "Keep Android Open" campaign is an Android robot dressed as Darth Vader. Across the top it says "I AM ALTERING THE DEAL"  in all caps, and below the robot it says "Pray I don't alter it further".

This is a reference to how Android acquired a massive catalog of apps be making access open to the platform back in the day, and Google assuring it would remain open, as opposed to the iOS platform which was (and still is) very restricted.

And, of course, Star Wars.

KDE supports the "Keep Android Open" campaign

#Google will cut off independent developers to #Android if they do not register with Google first. This will kill independent platforms like @fdroidorg.bsky.social and severely impede FLOSS devs from creating apps for Android.

Sheesh, I did try checking if they were open source and somehow missed the obvious. Came in with expectations because of my frustrations that people saw the enshittification happen to their app, to then emigrate to another app that'll eventually meet the same fate...
XMPP seems cool.

Our socials and communication should be open source (+points if open protocol). There's Matrix, stoat, fluxer, spacebar, and zulip.

There's fluxer, stout, spacebar, matrix. They're all open source. Our communications should of been open source since the start. We shouldn't have to be hoping on the next train that just leads to a different flavor of enshittification, choose open source!

Wish there was already a really good alternative in open source.. Matrix app's UX code be better, stout[revolt] I haven't fully checked but our communication needs to be open source, open protocol (osop), and private

Would graphite.art be an alternative? I listened on an interview of them and it sounded similar to adobe animate? I think...

Btw, you can use your own website as your handle! It would be more "official"if you did!

I think, if I'm not misremembering, they intend to be more than what you see in the link preview; heard from an interview they did.

Sounding like what graphite.art is or is working towards? It's open source

My little sister is starting highschool soon! Is there a help doc somewhere that could help her study effectively? Especially so, because it's a technical highschool? I think that's the term?

Maybe if those that appreciate your work were just as likely to comment as those that complain, the complaining comments end up becoming a few hairs of haystacks?
