@LillyHerself@mastodon.social also went it's already #opensource so that people can look at the code.

@LillyHerself@mastodon.social what sort of risks are you thinking of? I already use onlyoffice myself so would be happy to have an EU maintained version instead.

@fathermcgruder@jorts.horse @ErikJonker@mastodon.social they say on their github "We believe open source is about collaboration and we look for oportunities for integration and collaboration with the LibreOffice community and companies like Collabora. There are already some ideas how to collaborate for example in the document converter." In short they've decided to fork onlyoffice for this project.

Seems this is basically a non Russian fork of onlyoffice (which I didn't know was Russian) https://github.com/Euro-Office

@shibacomputer @Mer__edith I've never been notified that a contact has joined Signal, unlike on Telegram

Are there any functioning tools out there that are paying for #TwitterAPI access so that they can continue to offer great tools like #fedifinder #movetodon #Twitodon #debirdify etc used to be able to offer? i.e. helping to find your #Twitter #X contacts on #Mastodon?

@luca many thanks for your efforts. I don't have any useful thoughts to contribute to your questions above, but just wanted to thank you for your previous #fedifinder work and to let you know that I wait with baited breath for this new offering. I was just about to recommend FediFinder to a new #Mastodon user and was sad to discover it's effectively been killed by Musk's API price hikes (I'm presuming?) 😭 In the meantime, are you aware of any still functioning alternatives? Thanks!
