Fuck man, why don't more ethical-ish devs join to make stuff? What's the missing link on top of easy sharing like FOSS kinda' already has?

Obviously programming is a bit niche, but fuck... how can ethical programmers come together to survive under capitalism? Sure, profit sharing and coops aren't bad, but something of a cultural nexus is missing in this space it feels...

    Well, I'm not quite sure how to ... intentionally create a cultural nexus ... but I would say that having something like lemmy, piefed, the fediverse, is at least a good start.

    Socializing, discussion, via a non corpo platform.

    Beyond that, uh, maybe something more lile an actual syndicalist collective, or at least a union?

    Yeah, a union would be great, although I feel like that would be something that would have to come quite a ways down the road of ethical devs coming together. After all, not even the FOSS community agrees on what is ethical to give away and to whom.

    Maybe a union is still the right term for the abstract 'coming together' I'm thinking of, since it's hard to imagine how they could go from a generic collective to a body that could actually make effective demands, but perhaps it's roughly the same process as getting a job-wide union off the ground.
