Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P

That's fine as your opinion, but it's not a popular one. Many people tried lemmy and left almost immediately because they want a better UI. We come from the old usenet boards so we know what UI was like back then, but now people expect a great UI/UX to use a service. So yes, I understand the principals, but we shouldn't demonize people who pay money for a better experience, and if you're a developer I'm sure you know that a good UX costs some money, but a great UX costs a lot of money.
There's also a lot of younger techies on the board cause if you even got remotely deep enough you'd have to learn how to use those user board websites to solve your extremely specific problems.
