@neauoire it's particularly... interesting in the handmade community, given that the organizing principle of the group is being able to make and promote apps as individuals, avoid big corporate crush. Whether you think that comes from your own individual awesomeness, or realize it's the result of very strong political forces fueling things like open source etc. While I get people are attracted to handmade for that feeling of empowerment, I wish more would realize how inherently political that is. Empowerment only ever comes from political action. And honestly if this community wants to grow and gain more ground, it's by embracing not distancing from the messiness and complexity of politics.
