@ZDL@mstdn.social I know, but that's the issue I tried to get into:
We now have a successful open source movement, which got successful by seeing reality and adapting its messaging to that.
It's been so successful, it has become part of the problem.

@ZDL@mstdn.social So how do you deal with that kind of success? That's the issue with Realpolitik, it adapts until it is fully dissociated from its roots. And yet, it is way more effective than insisting on perfection. The only thing I can see working is repeating the same basic movement over and over, letting it get subsumed by the problem to move things an inch, and let the following movements do the rest of the work. But that can only work if people are, at some point, willing to let go of things...

@jens@social.finkhaeuser.de ... Ooh, that's interesting. I don't know enough about it broadly, so this escaped my attention.
