I would really like to get involved back more in OSS advocacy and outreach, its a part of my job that I miss.
However the level outrage bait, misinformation and entitlement involved in popular OSS these days, I am not sure I have the patience.

2 typical examples for today, if you seen the rant about how Firefox "SHARE FUCKING EVERYTHING", thats very obviously not even close to being true, but reality doesnt stop the angry mob sharing it. Next up today, "our enterprise company will uninstall firefox if you ship with vpn", "we dont ship vpn to enterprise users", "how do you detect enterprises, thats creepy" ... according to "privacy advocates" if statements are now creepy ...

@dale@toot.cafe @gwmngilfen@fosstodon.org and I have been talking a lot about this recently. We're not sure what shape it might take. But a shape it will!
