Once the fashware list started, it was a nice little thing. You could at a glance see the projects and people your subliminal feeling should steer you away from.
But with a recent set of additions, the list seems to become… just a list of big companies? I mean, yeah, the evidence and single point of reference matters, true. But it’s just so overwhelming that a previously clear-cut “don’t do biz w fash” message is no longer that clear-cut. Everyone seems (sic) to be fash these days.
So I’m wondering if it’d be more productive to have a parallel list of “kindware” documenting the projects (MNT, Spritely, Debian etc.) that actually care about people in this barren fash wastelands.
Devine Lu Linvegan (npub1z8r…mrq6) how do you feel about the fashware list these days?
