    This is why I hate the FOSS community. Everyone freaks out and cries wolf the second a platform doesn’t share their political opinion, even if it’s completely irrelevant to privacy or FOSS.

      This is not about “the FOSS community”. It doesn’t matter if you developed closed-source or open-source, doesn’t matter if you license your software with AGPL or NULA, if you make a comment that’s seemingly transphobic/misogynistic, people WILL freak out.

      The reason you might see this occur more frequently in open-source spaces could be sue to the fact that issue trackers and PRs provide much less filtered responses than corporate social media accounts and blogs.

      Foss certainly aligns better with left-wing philosophies, i don’t think far-right need to be widely accepted in these communities

        Calling someone far-right for not wanting to implement a useless pronouns feature is a bit wild.

          Not necessarily far right, but that implies they might be far right. i think if someone is cis female, her, if cis male then he, if other, they (unless something else is explicitly stated). I don’t think it really hurts anyone to call them the way they wish, but rightists usually do

        let me provide you an analogy to what you’re saying.

        “The US appeals to right wing philosophies so the left doesn’t need to be accepted”

        what do you think?

      Personally, I’d want my software to value basic human decency, no matter how good the code is. If the developer lashes out at an inclusive change in a single line of documentation, I’m not using that browser even if it could solve my taxes.

      This is just my take though, and if you want to use the browser, then go for it.

          I’m not sure I understood; a line for what?

          I’ll try to answer based on what I think you meant: if there is a software with a person with undesirable views in control of it, I’d try to boycott that software if feasible.
