    Tldr looks like a new community plugin discovery that requires plugins to be:

    • source available
    • hosted/mirrored on github
    • owned by developers with Obsidian accounts
    • pass automated scanning
    • defined by permission manifests

    Overall probably a good thing, though I wish they’d be open to featuring projects not shared with Github.

    Damn, I am so jaded by all the bad news that I saw this title and thought they are going to scrap plugins for something AI-related. They are not! It’s a plugin community page! Looks interesting.

      I think it is usually signaled pretty far ahead honestly when companies go rotten. Maybe it’s because I just generally choose foss lately but it seems obvious when you look at earlier choices for things like drm or licensing policies

        sadly obsidian isn’t foss. i still like it though.

        and yeah with the recent bambulab controversy in the 3d printing community it was noticeable years earlier if you just paid attention. but paying attention takes active effort too. being a discerning consumer/user/creator is difficult.

          It’s not FOSS, but it uses markdown which is open, so even if Obsidian went down the path of enshitification, you could still (in theory) move your content over to an alternative. I know, I know, plugins, non-standard etc. etc…
