Vlad's @altctrl.org talk is such an important argument for paying Open Source maintainers 🙌
vlad.website Vlad-Stefan Harbuz @vlad.website · Jun 10
Here's my talk on why collective governance can prevent abusive power, and why distributed funding is necessary for collective governance. Thanks to @altctrl.org for inviting me, and to @fairpm.bsky.social for putting these ideas into practice. ❤️
Open Source: Deceptive Power or Collective Governance? | Open Source Pledge
Collective governance prevents abuses of power — but it needs distributed funding in order to survive.
