Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.

It's not propagandizing to post memes you personally don't agree with. FOSS is in fact inherently leftist, it rejects both the profit motive and individual ownership of IP.
That is just not true. Free Software developers still have the copyright to whatever they make and nobody says that they can't make money - it's free as in freedom, not price. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
Would you consider Meta's Threads as FOSS? It's connected to the fediverse. What about Bluesky? Are they inherently leftist?
The fediverse isn't FOSS itself. FOSS kinda requires being Free and Open Source, lol
