@amirbkhan 2/2Both implementations of democracy and the ideal are constantly under threat. Now more than any time in my lifetime.The nature of #freesoftware and #opensource is to be against closed, proprietary systems. Tools for individuals. It has ALWAYS been a resistance to closed, proprietary systems. In that regard, it echoes more #volunteerism than #democracy. That it is a tool democracy can and should use should not be conflated, imho.
