#HELP

I just received a concerning email from the OTF (@opentechfund.bsky.social) stating that a major source of their funding is in jeopardy.

If you care about open-source, anti-censorship, or the open internet, please consider supporting one of the projects they fund.

Efforts to Prevent Vanishing Government Web Pages Continue:
After the presidential inauguration in January, many federal web pages, including information about #climate change, reproductive #health, #gender identity and sexual orientation have been restricted, altered or completely taken down. Thanks to @waybackmachine many of these pages still exist in their original context in the @internetarchive — freely accessible to the public.

“On the meta-level, having that as a positively asserted community value would have made it far more difficult for the Marxists/wokies to do their entryism thing. They would have been recognized as a fundamentally toxic phenomenon sooner. Failure of leadership on my part. …on this I screwed up, and I feel bad about it.” — @esrtweet ( x.com/esrtweet/status/18868943 )

“One of my regrets about my years of being Mr. Famous Guy, when I had maximum leadership leverage, is that I didn't foresee the political threat to open source.
I thought it was enough to be apolitical, invite everybody to be part of our development community, and that everybody would continue to keep politics out of the coding. Including even my own libertarian politics.
