    8000 people used to high salaries and probably living in or around silicon valley with insane cost of living. I don’t have high hopes for them switching to working on fediverse projects…

      Many of them are petite bourgeoisie sure, but I don’t think you realize how hungry so many people in tech are to work on something real and good.

        What the fuck is stopping them then?

        Plenty of us are out here spending our own money on our own projects not expecting millions for it. What’s their fucking excuse?

          I think awareness of the Fediverse, or the social web, is much lower than the people involved would assume. I’d think people in tech would have a greater awareness, but maybe thats not even a true assumption.
