Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

I had forgotten that people are seriously paying for office software in 2025.

Majority of people don't even have ad blockers. I've talked with tech journalists that don't know what open source means.

Those were hipsters, they get often confused.

Clearly they're shit at their jobs.

There are a few features in 365 that are not built into opens source options, most them are accessibility feature.

FOSS really does need to up its game when it comes to accessibility features. I feel like there's a culture issue. People need to be focusing on those features right from the start, but it's not even an afterthought. You'll get 5+ different iterations of basically the same program and not a one will have any accessibility features that aren't already built into the platforms that they're using, because everyone wants to do the "shiny" stuff.

I'd really like to see a foundation set up specifically for accessibility in FOSS. Hopefully taking grants, hiring full time devs and dedicating to coding and maintaining those features for a specific subset of projects.
