Leaving a social media platform often forces content creators to start over from scratch on a new site.
Don’t Lemmy and Mastodon also have this problem to some extent? Like, all the comms on lemm.ee will have to start over on new instances, no? Is it possible to migrate all subscribers, comments, and posts? Or just partial migrations?
Open Source, permissive! Do what ever you want with my code!
No, not like that!
Mommy, that source available project is claiming to be Open Source™️! 🚨 🚓
To “waffle” comes from the 1956 movie Archie and the Waffle House. It’s a reference how the main character Archie famously ate a giant stack of waffles and became a town hero.

Soon people are gonna be on $19.99/month subscriptions for thinking.
Any recommended alternatives?
you don’t care that much about the AGPL clauses (e.g. because your app isn’t a server).
I’ve been thinking about this recently… Let’s say you develop some local CLI. You think it’s not a server, so you license as GPL.
Later someone comes and offers your CLI as SaSS. They write the server piece that just calls your local CLI on their server and pipes the input and output between the user.
So… should you always prefer AGPL over GPL?
OK, so I left Spotify for Navidrome a while back BUT. What Spotify sells isn’t music. Spotify sells curation and recommendations. Most people aren’t music lovers that want to hunt for cool new music. They just want a pre-generated list of songs that they’ll more or less like. That’s actually kinda huge.
A recommendation engine is something I wish fediverse or open source would tackle. I’m on Navidrome now, but I’m definitely listening to way less music now—access isn’t an issue—I just haven’t had time to hunt around for new music. Investigating new bands takes time. On Spotify, you do it without even really thinking about it.
