@zkatkat Yes. "Projects" need to die.
It's really absurd and backwards that "projects" are put before "people". Take Rust ecosystem, for example - why are we talking about "ecosystem"? Why do we care about the popular projects and published crates? This is all backwards. I like Rust, but I care much less about Rust than I do about good people. I know a bunch of good people writing Rust - and they are writing C, and Nix, and code interfaces. I care about their projects, even in the context which is not important to me, way more than I care about random Rust projects.
Like, let me say it: "project" framing is capitalist bullshit, it is faceless and sales-oriented. Fuck that.
A good beginning is to create "software webrings". A bridge between tech communities that care about ethics and awesomeness. Doesn't matter what language they are using or what problem they are solving - they need to be good people and good community.
I'm willing to help as much as I can.
