Those TF2 class introduction videos are still top tier. The drill sergeant in Meet the soldier or the pyro one spreading joy… Ahh, good times!

Someone’s been binging 30Rock

But in the end it’s just as with email: providers, spam filters and clients. Some providers have stricter spam filters (~federation), some might prefer another client. Has there been any significant reason to deviate from that terminology?

Meaningful discovery is a major issue in adoption, though. Pro: no search/discovery algorithm that serves some evil plan of world enshittification. Con: no search/discovery algorithm.

Thank you, very informative thread. I’m not accustomed to exploring the modlog, but this clears up some frustration. I’m grateful for the community having mods that care and can understand some issues just becoming to prevalent.

But what if the concept itself is the subject? Context: during someone’s quest for a good OS keyboard, the FUTO one was falsely (or probably just naively) presented as an alternative. That comment thread was moderated to bits, but another user was interested enough to start a topic “Thoughts on FUTO keyboard?” which to me suggests they want to learn more about the matter and why it might or might not be OSI compliant. I dove into all mentioned articles in that thread to learn why and lo and behold the entire post was removed before I could thank the useful comment(er)s there. By removing that, other users can’t benefit from that discussion if they weren’t quick enough.

That was my first interaction, but I’ve noticed it for other topics as well.

That would be my last resort, indeed. I just want to try open discussion first.

Whoa, I found the discussion rather insightful 😕

Aye thanks, for the privacy aspect tot be somewhat covered I guess it fits the bill in its current state, but not true open source as the question asked then. Found the issue asking them to change but highly doubt they will https://github.com/futo-org/android-keyboard/issues/17

Since when is allowing commercial derivative work essential for it to be called open source?

Good for them. It’s an organisation’s free choice to pick the platforms they post and interact on, if any. Their presence is a service in itself while there are plenty of other ways to follow or reach them if needed.
