Open source maintainers are burning out, AI is flooding repos with plausible-looking garbage, and vulnerability scanners are outpacing human patches. Going closed source isn't the answer.

Atmosphere Community @atmosphere.community
Welcome Frankfurt! @frankfurt.atmosphere.community, being setup by @samsour.de and now listed on atmosphere.community
This is what we've been working on over the last few weeks. It's our own little contribution to the atmosphere: "zero friction" PDS hosting. There are still lots of great features in the pipeline, but we wanted to get started early and share our progress openly with you.

I’ve tried to stay calm these past few days but reality is I’m pissed as hell. Pissed at @ec.europa.eu and @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu acting like influencers for a closed platform. Be on W, be on Bluesky, be on mu, but promote a gated platform as your solution to the social media mess we’re in?
the painful thing about it is that with maybe a week of work, @bsky.app has the power to make account migration ACTUALLY ACCESSIBLE AND USABLE to non-technical users.
it almost is — but these three or four papercuts each ruin the flow

Kept thinking about the Cal.com thing.
The security argument is the small story. Maintainer burnout + AI generated PR floods + faster-than-human vuln scans, all pressing on the same 30-year dev stack, is the bigger one.
