I'd kind of like to actually try it.
Unfortunately, I can't think of a way to reach a
random sample of open-source publishers.

Is it? If you ask a random person who has
published open-source software what “open-source”
means, what do you think is the probability
they'll mention the OSI?

The C style guide at https://sr.ht/~sircmpwn/cstyle/ states:

> Programmers MUST indent with 8-column tabs, instead of spaces.

However, the code examples below are indented with a mix of 4 spaces and 8 spaces.

What I don't like about the Fediverse is that pretty much all of its
instances are modelled after popular social networks like Facebook and
Twitter, which have terrible UX. Also, I can't seem to find a way to
access the whole Fediverse — every instance just shows the few posts
from itself and possibly some other “friend” instances, which is a small
amount of content.
