●● A Month After Empty Promises Perhaps — Just Maybe! — IBM (Red Bait) Can Ask the COMMUNITY to Bring Back OpenSource.com

Posted in IBM, Red Hat at 1:08 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

It has been exactly one month (as of today). One month ago:

Summary: It has now been one month since IBM assured us OpenSource.com would be back (we have good reasons to believe it was responding to criticism from Techrights)

“The community is hard at work on something new,” IBM (Red Bait) said a month ago, just a day after an article of ours about the fate of OpenSource.com had gone viral. Where is this community and how can we help it? Someone who caught the news in Gemini (corresponding to this address) said that in these posts “it is very important to note (repeatedly) that the sites used to publish valuable, FOSS-relevant material. The degradation of the site is a recent change for the worse.” Other readers have said something to the same effect. If IBM has no intention of doing anything concrete with this domain (except empty community-washing), then it should at least be honest. █

Meanwhile in Linux.com (killed in 2019 by the Linux Foundation), there have been no updates in a week already and they posted duplicates a week ago:
