Pretty wild to complain to a team that runs a lemmy and mastodon instance about not doing enough for FOSS.
I swear, some of the users here are so whiny and insufferable. I don't envy the lemmy.world team at all.
Incredibly insufferable and entitled lol
I don't necessarily care much about the FOSS arguments and all that stuff that some of the other users complain about, but I kinda don't like the fact that I have to verify my account and link it just to go to a discord server for updates. I'm fine with just having the main community with updates, not sure why discord has to be thrown in to complicate things. If the main community is here to stay and I don't have to join a discord and go through the verification, hey that's fine by me. The verbiage is just odd how it makes it sound like the community will go away and you'll have to go to the discord. Hope that's never the case, though.
When lemmy.world goes down, how would mods use the website to communicate with us? They can't. So having a secondary mode of communication makes a ton of sense.
I suppose that's fair, good point. A locked-down discord is just an odd choice for that, in my opinion. Mastodon makes much more sense.
It's weird to rely on proprietary when you can use Matrix spaces.
I've heard a reason for choosing Discord is the good moderation tools. I don't know enough to comment on that so I just hope that free software alternatives improves their moderation tools.
When you value software freedom for yourself and others then it's actually pretty dull and obvious to express concern. It's like a coworker just started smoking.
