@netopwibby This is an excellent description, & kinda nails why "free as in freedom" software development will always be super important:
Stuff made by intrinsically motivated people is much less likely to face enshitification.
(..it simply has an entirely *different* set of nearly insurmountable challenges!😅)

@GoodNewsGreyShoes@mastodon.art @netopwibby@social.coop I'd like to add the caveat that while FOSS is a good pursuit, a project being FOSS does not entirely prevent it from being subverted by extrinsic interests. And conversely, a project being proprietary does not strictly imply it isn't made with solely or at least mostly intrinsic motivation.
