I say this as someone who is probably one of the biggest supporters of software-freedom around here, but bullying or shaming people for preferring non-free apps does nothing but incite resentment towards the movement. I value the four freedoms because I think I deserve control of my computing, not because I think it's my place to dictate what others should value.
I voiced my opinion on one of the sync announcement posts and it was received quite controversially.
We all get stuck in our own camps and become quote tribal and I feel like all around it's difficult to not take what is being said as some kind of attack.
Yeah. How about just everybody uses what they fucking want and leave each other alone? You know, like it should be in real life. That would be nice.
exactly this!!
