I see. @_elena@mastodon.social congrats.
@solrize I have accounts on Lemmy, PieFed and Mbin. Wrote about them this summer https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-future-of-social-is-here-a-show-and-tell-part-4-lemmy-piefed-mbin/ 🤗 these days I’m mostly using #Lemmy and I really really enjoy it

By the way, if you want to learn about free software as a political movement, you should check into the history of the GNU project.
@solrize will do, thanks! 🙏
This book (free downloads available) is a good start:
