I thought about this already for a while and with Lemmy and Mastodon the opensource community has a place to really try itself out and coordinate. Then even things like open-source planning-systems (like at Amazon) and AIs are possible.

At least in Germany there is currently no really political movement that could be described as left-libertarian at least seriously. Maybe the Fediverse could be the root for something like that.

Or will the Fediverse will become more like the new landscape of the internet, which encompasses everything and in which every party will need to move and have a certain stance to somehow?

    I find this question a little weird, because open source software (which includes the Fediverse) was already a very political movement from the beginning.

    As for organizing, since there is no main authority or philosophy beyond make software open, it’s up to you and like-minded individuals to use the space as you seem fit.
