Greetings, fellow digizens of the self-hosted world. I’ve spent considerable
time pondering the relationship between Open Source and Anarchy. As a coder and
an enthusiast of decentralized systems, I often see Open Source as a haven of
freedom and self-governance, a space where hierarchy dissolves into a shared
ownership of ideas and creations. This brings to mind the principles of Anarchy,
where power is decentralized and the collective rules. But let’s be honest.
Sometimes, Open Source feels more like a wannabe rock star, a lot of hype with a
record deal that doesn’t quite hit the right notes. It led me to wonder: Is the
parallel I draw between Open Source and Anarchy a fair one, or is it a misplaced
association? If this is too far off-topic, just let me kniw and I shall remove
it!
