Open Source and Anarchy: A Symbiotic Dance or a Misunderstood Relationship? (self.selfhosted)

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!

Check out [email protected] Thank you for pointing me to the right community!

It is amazing software, any extra information you may have regarding it (or potential replacements if it, sadly, falls apart); I'm all ears!

I dont think its gonna fall apart. I thibk there is a bright future for Grapheneos.

But calyxos is also very good. Not as secure/private but it is more user friendly.
