    Makes sense to be on that site, since a lot of Lemmy users are probably interested at least in part due to the FOSS nature of it. Maybe it doesn’t need to be phrased as a “warning” though, more just as an FYI. Seems like it could scare people away thinking it’s a data harvesting tool, but such is life.

      There’s only two reasons to own something:

      1. To fuck someone over with it, or,
      2. To avoid being fucked by someone else with it.

      It is a warning and I think they’re being pretty gentle with this needlessly proprietary bullshit

        That’s a very black and white way to look at the world but you do you.

          “Proprietary software is bad” should be as controversial as “murder is bad”
