Hello everyone, this is my first post on Lemme and a introduction to me and what I am about.
I assume most of you here are in a attempt to escape the corporate click and scroll economy that has become our internet overtaken by major companies who control most of what we see online. That is Google, MicroSoft, Amazon, Meta and Twitter to name a few but we also know that they work for the government and use mass surveillance using the data collected.
As a supporter of Open Source and GNU along with cryptography I believe that information is a general right to the people and the internet was created by us and should be ran by us.
'The organization of the digital economy through the social ownership of digital assets and democratic control over the infrastructure and systems that govern our digital lives.
A broad ecology of social ownership acknowledges the multiple and overlapping associations to which individuals belong and promotes the flourishing of different communities from mutual societies to platform co-operatives, data trusts and international social networks.'
Sound about right? As a programmer and hacktivist I believe it is my duty to protect and preserve our online ecosystem. Creating communities that work towards these goals is a major theme in my life both online and off.
So what am I going for?
I would like to build and network with like minded individuals and find a sense of community in a space like the fediverse. I am a fan and user of Linux especially Arch where I can control exactly what is on my machine, and for productivity I pretty much live inside of Emacs. I am working on my static web page where I will have a blog, RSS feed and webring. But I was never really into front end web development, I mainly write in Python and Rust.
