@nyx @sun @Ree yep that last part in particular is just making me angry.

nobody really wants “pisscord but for nerds” or “twitter but blurple” or “windows but the desktop is a spinning cube”. those aren’t alternatives, they’re poor imitations of a thing that already sucks ass. “surely more people will consider free software if only they won’t have to get used to anything different” is such an unbelievably and obviously stupid take it might as well be a CIA psyop

it’s like all foss is capable of is either unimaginative corpo mimicry or technological regression, with very few exceptions
