I’m a CS student, I have some time before I graduate and have kind of dipped my toes in various things without specializing in anything. I would like to know what would be useful for the movement, so that I can use my skills to contribute.
And before people say “everything is useful”…well yeah but it’s nice and fulfilling to have specific ideas I can work on learning/building myself.
Also where can I find leftist open source projects? I know lemmy and this website for one are open source but not sure of others.
An AI that solves leftist infighting An AI browser extension that highlights propaganda (what could possibly go wrong!) A covert AI browser extension that inserts propaganda That thing with the bees in Black Mirror

In the absence of a better, more principled idea, you could just assume projects are leftist by virtue of being open source.
You could also learn Godot and make a leftist video game.
You can write scripts to monitor social media websites for keywords often associated with bad arguments and become a reverse-reply-guy for reactionaries.
50/50 on if an open source thing is leftist or some insane libertarian techbro
