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

Don't forget this is a community built around Open Source software with many refugees who came because proprietary apps were forced on them.

  1. ~~This is not a proprietary app (in the first party terms, it's still a 3rd party app)~~
  • Yes Okay I get it, yes it's proprietary, but I'm saying everyone was gleefully using proprietary 3rd party apps on Reddit, Apollo was proprietary, RIF was proprietary, proprietary was not forced on anyone. 1st party apps were forced on us all.
  1. This is literally one of the apps Reddit killed off
  2. It's literally not being forced on anyone

I think the comment you're replying to is not talking about late Reddit refugees but early FOSS enthusiast that were on Lemmy before. You're missing the point.
