huh, I had no idea that being pro-FOSS in a FOSS community was that controversial. I guess this place really is turning into the new reddit.
People downvoted you because you deliberately chose ti ignore the first half of my answer to play the "indignated FSF extremist" when it was absolutely unnecessary. Not because people don't value FOSS and its community.
And stop playing the victimized main character because no one is buying that bs. Because THAT is something a dumb reddit user would do
It's not like this is a generic unrelated lemmy community, it's literally called "open source" (with a rule specifically saying "Posts must be relevant to the open source ideology" in the sidebar). there are a million other spaces where proprietary garbage can be promoted, I don't go around those places chewing people out for doing so. You chose to come into a space called "open source" to trash open source and promote a proprietary application, the fact that you are getting upvoted for doing so is just sad imho.
Anyway, you don't seem to have anything other than childish personal attacks in response so this is where I disengage from this thread.
