  • The Fediverse is pretty radical. I’m an atheist also, an exmormon, and I think this might just be a misunderstanding.
    The rule, “no LGBTQ+ content,” I don’t think is saying “no gay people.” I am pretty sure it is just asking to avoid the topic, to prevent bigoted discussion from happening.
    As fair or not as you want it to be, LGBTQ+ is a controversial topic for religious people, and I think it’s fair to just put a pin in that discussion in your community. But what do I know?
















  • Microsoft is surprisingly pro-FOSS - probably more than any of the others in “big tech.” It’s the same reason MS isn’t in the FAANG acronym. They’ve consistently forwarded and contributed to the FOSS community over the past several years.

For a more concrete example, with LLMs, Microsoft (despite basically owning OpenAI) is contributing to free and open-source language model development, with Orca and TBAAYN, as well as publishing free and open-source tooling for LLM, such as the guidance repository.
