I like FOSS too, but no need to be so agressive. Sorry, @[email protected]
I don’t just love FOSS, I INSIST on it from now on.
Don’t come crying to us when a multinational corporation like Google comes in and embraces, extends, then extinguishes this platform, reshaping it into yet another vector for banging the late stage capitalistic, genocidal war drum using propaganda, astroturfing, censorship of dissenting views, and fascist apologia.
Hi, Mod here.
One of our community rules is to "be nice and have fun." It's okay to be passionate about lemmy, FOSS, federation, etc. It's okay to discuss the virtues of FOSS development, or share suggestions with devs. Actually, that's a big part of why this community exists! We hope that devs and users can have productive conversations that improve the lemmy experience for everyone.
It isn't okay to rag on developers or others in the community for their preferences or decisions.
I'm not sure if you were here a year or so ago, when this community in fact engaged in a pretty serious conversation about whether to exclude apps that are not FOSS. The consensus of the community was to include everything and let grown-ups make their own well-informed decisions.
There are lots of reasons why a developer may decide not to make an app open-source. It can take a lot of work for a solo dev to organize and clean up code for open publication, and for some people this is a hobby or labor of love and that is not work that interests them. Some may not want to share code that is in early development if it is messy or could reflect on them professionally in unknown ways. Some may have access to proprietary code that they have rights to use but not share from other projects they are working on. And on and on.
In this community, all are welcome, and if anyone is not interested in an app, then they are fortunate that there are many great options!
I’ll delete it. Thanks for not censoring me.
Thank you for jumping in
Here's a community you should like: [email protected]
However, non-FOSS apps are welcome here, so no need to be so agressive.
Feel free to also join places like [email protected] or [email protected] that help make the Fediverse grow as an alternative to enshittified platforms
