@jwildeboer it has become obligatory to ask it about Tiananmen square and then draw biased conclusions about the influence of state-obliged censorship for the whole dang thing.
That has become the lackmus-test of freedom, apparently.

Jack f*ing Dorsey having the keynote at FOSDEM is a disgrace.In the age of misinformation and "bought public perception" giving him this stage is both morally and politically wrong and damaging to the philosophy of open source.

Jack f*ing Dorsey having the keynote at FOSDEM is a disgrace.I realize money plays a role. A big role. But don't make the mistake of taking tech bro's as our friends.
The relationship is utilitarian at best. Tech bro's don't "invest" in open source because they believe in its ideals, they do it because it gives them the means to do whatever they like. And this is seldom something good or desirable.
Those are the same people that do one mass layoff after the next one whenever it suits them.
They are not our friends. Jack Dorsey should not be welcome.

Jack f*ing Dorsey having the keynote at FOSDEM is a disgrace.Why is this such a problem?
Because like all tech billionaires he has an agenda which is incompatible with the ideals of open source. Giving him a platform where be can speak about his interest, despite not having contributed to the community is acting against the interest of the open source community as a whole.
You wouldn't invite a fossil fuel lobbyist to a renewable energy panel either, would you?

Jack f*ing Dorsey having the keynote at FOSDEM is a disgrace.Jack f*ing Dorsey having the keynote at FOSDEM is a disgrace. He has made no meaningful contributions, is a no-one in this space and wants to talk about Open Source culture? Are you kidding me?!??
Why are we allowing this to happen? He should not be welcome as a speaker, let alone holding the keynote.
