Alan Siefert on Nostr: I haven’t really noticed a change in political affiliation in open source software ...
I haven’t really noticed a change in political affiliation in open source software but I’m not sure how one would determine that. I do remember relatively recent left-motivated changes to terms in code, such as replacing “master/slave”. In general, I believe the left and right have somewhat swapped in their valuing of free speech, which open source software is.
