Pouhiou of @Framasoft presents @peertube at #NGIFORUM23 "We built a videoplatform based on old internet values such as decentralization. Not one big platform but many small federated platforms." More than a 1000 instances & a million video's. All that in six years and one paid developer. (A 2nd dev recently joined. Yay!)
"With little means we can do a lot in the open source community",
@NGIZero @Framasoft @peertube But please don’t take that to mean that we can work miracles with nothing either.
Why is it that Silicon Valley asshats get €5M a pop for every toxic, extractive startup idea they have whereas we have to beg for scraps and spend inordinate amounts of time on ensuring basic necessities like keeping a roof over our heads and food on the table when we’re the ones building the ethical alternatives?

YES!
You are SO right to say that, and I (hi, Pouhiou here!) will be more careful next time I'll use such comparisons.
My point here was that both "products" cannot be compared, as we are fighting Dragons[1] with toothpicks.
2 years ago, I calculated that Framasoft's yearly budget was 9mn of No time to die.
Because it shows the world we prioritize : do we want more James Bond movies, or more funds for activists who try to improve the world?
