PaulaToThePeopleWhat I wish from the FLOSS community:1. A Mastodon fork that does nothing but add support for plugins, while providing timely updates for every Mastodon update.2. A whole lot of plugins for that Mastodon fork, especially ones that enhance moderation and collaboration between instance moderation teams.3. An F-Droid fork that does nothing except exchange the default repo with a repo that excludes toxic, bigoted, problematic apps (including AI and crypto shit) and adds the ability for users to hide apps, while providing timely updates for every F-Droid update.4. A browser that truely respects human rights.5. A search engine that truely respects human rights.What I wish from the internet community:1. A bigotry-free, non-toxic Wikipedia.How I think that could all happen: Communities without toxic techbros take over Mastodon, F-Droid, Mozilla, DuckDuckGo and the Wikimedia foundation.<a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/FLOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FLOSS</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/FDroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FDroid</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mozilla</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/DuckDuckGo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DuckDuckGo</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wikipedia</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Wikimedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wikimedia</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/WikimediaFoundation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WikimediaFoundation</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/bigotry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bigotry</a>
