I had a french feeling when I read the word "association". I confirmed it originates from France when I checked their "about" tab. I like their idea but I hate it when the front page is in english as if this is a world wide effort but the rest of the web site is in French. Je vous souhaite la meilleure continuation mais je vais passer.
I'm curious how Framasoft will keep the lights on and the servers running without ads/data-collection.
The same way wikipedia or the linux foundation keeps running I suppose.

I can't wait for them to release the latest update for FramaWeb (which is just firefox but you call it FramaWeb) to the FramaOS (which is just linux but you call it FramaOS) for my FraMachine (which is just a computer but it's specifically built by this one dude and you call it the FraMachine).
It sounds stupid, but it's actually very useful to unify everything on a single brand instead of having a hard to navigate archipelago of software. You might say it's hypocritical to turn themselves into a vendor, but if that vendor aligns with my values and can be trusted, then I'd be happy to buy a FraMachine with everything you listed because I know there's only quality FOSS software/hardware without spending ages…
This is a French free software foundation that have collected together various open source alternatives under a unified branding. Being neither a startup nor american, they are of course condemned to eternal scorn by many HN readers.
Each proposed "free alternative" looks like it comes from the site owner, FramaSoft (example: Google Forms -> FramaForms, Google Maps -> Framacarte). While I appreciate the efforts to de-centralize the internet, this is more an ad for the company than anything.

I do have to admit being guilty of something similar. Being German, I would never use German software (even German translations) or hardware. I have seen to many things :D

Not in British typography (it does in American).
That's interesting. I do it the British way when I write English (because it's the way we do it in my native language in my native country too). What's the rationale for enclosing the punctuation within the quotation marks? It's not part of the quote after all. What happens if the sentence is a question that ends with a quote? If the quote itself isn't a question, enclosing the question mark would interfere with its…

They could at least run this page through a spell checker. If they can't get that right, then..
