   @tallship Well, what else did you expect from Nostr promoters? It is like asking Bluesky team to stop using Discord

     I'm going to offer an honorable mention here, but the fact that anyone can get a free NextCloud account with the same document feature sets and sharing capabilities as Google demands that I consider this a missed opportunity, if not a misguided community gesture by not taking the opportunity to dogfood on our own FOSS instead of a privacy disrespecting, deprecated, monolithic industrial mining silo.

     I think leveraging Google Docs to gather input on how to:

     > ...make open source open protocol social media easier.

     and...

     > We're trying to make it better.

     are statements belied by the fact that we're not dogfooding by actually using #FOSS like we should be to make the point that we want to make #FOSS better, by showing just how easy it is to obviate large swaths of ABC/Google properties by simply not using them:

     https://nextcloud.com/sign-up/

     In this day and age, I find it somewhat antithetical and at cross purposes to our overlying mission along with the whole set of philosophies behind building and advocating for adoption of the Fediverse in the first place, if we're going to ask people to go back to the #dark_side and visit Google docs

     #FOSS #Fediverse #Dogfooding #Walk_the_Walk - not just talk the talk.
