Duolingo really is speedrunning dystopia rn.

    I’m still hoping for a FOSS language learning platform to replace these type of services. DuoLingo seems rather limited, to what crowds of volunteers could create by working together.

      Lingonaut seems promising, but it isn’t open source, or at least not yet. The creator seems open to being convinced though?

      the problem is them or some other vc backed thief will use all those resource to give it for free with much better packaging then go back to their parasitic way once that foss project is dead.

      Early Duolingo was curated and corrected by the community. Clearly people were volunteering to do it, so I don’t know why they removed all the community tools and are now using AI to fill the gap.

      Probably not quite what you’re looking for, but there’s Anki, a software for flashcards. It has some shared decks available for download, and you can make and potentially share your own. It can also be used to study things besides languages.
