Worse case scenario he gathers telemetry and sells your information or gives it to a company that does. Either way, it’s gpl so we can clone it and host it ourselves.
Yeah man what an arsehole giving away free things, spending time making free things for everyone to use for free.
If he wants to keep his code private until he’s ready to release it - that’s somewhat up to him. The repo is a step in the right direction, just give it some time.
Looking through the git repo the ignore is lopping off quite a number of files too (server) however I’m not sure how much of those are things like secrets, cache, other scripts and so forth.
Well, it’s kind of up to him. His NLNet grants require it to be open source and dictate what license he uses, but I don’t know the details to know if that just means it has to be open sourced in order to receive the grant (awarded upon completion not ahead of time) or right away.
Wtf. That pixelfed asshole was writing this shit as closed source before?
He was working on it but it wasn’t completed until now. I’m unsure why it wasn’t open sourced from the start but either way, it’s open sourced now.
Not sure you can trust him at this point.

Nah. He could sabotage documentation efforts. Loads of orgs use Foss licenses and aren’t trustworthy
