Well I personally think we can find a middle ground between single-handedly saving "everyone" from poverty and addiction and oppression as social workers, and not letting anyone into our exclusive philosophy-of-property clubhouse. I would invite you to join us on this pro-social mission, but you seem perfectly content as-is!

Some people are still on Usenet after all (?), so I suppose it's not a big deal if a few people want to cling to old communities. I hope you don't mind if we use the word for what it was coined for though in the meantime, back in the real world.

To be frank, I'm not really interested in "joining" your thing there, when joining your thing usually means me doing the work while others get to decide on how it should be done and feel good about that it is being done as if it was their own achievement.

That said, spite has served me well so far, so maybe it can also serve you?

This is after all a great opportunity to prove me and my worldview wrong by simply putting in the work and creating what you seem to believe is the correct form of existing.

I can only encourage bringing your ideas into reality. Seriously. That is that whole Foss spirit thing. You don't need to invite anyone (including me) to that to make it happen.

Let's manifest some code and change the world :)
