  • That’s how protests work. Just because you are not affected, does not mean you should not participate. Any subreddit participating is probably trying to show they are anti-nazi, and/or they support the efforts of the others in the platform.

    Of course it causes trouble for users, but sadly that’s what Twitter has become and it deserves this hate. None of this would have happened if Elon truly advocated for freedom of speech, instead of using his power to push his right-wing beliefs.

    I am proud that there are still some mods in Reddit that take the risk of protesting. I was afraid they got removed on the previous Reddit protest, about pricing changes.

    Adding to that, not caring about politics probably means going with the flow and not reacting. Which, in today’s capitalist world, usually means supporting big corporations by using their services, just because everyone else use them.





  • I don’t understand this mindset.

    In open source, both malicious actors and contributors will try to find problems.

    In closed source, the development team is paid by hour (and probably don’t care about the product quality) and the only motivated people to find real issues are malicious actors.

    But people still consider closed source safer.



  • That smokescreen argument makes a lot of sense. Both the company and our clients, tend to opt for ready out-of-the-box proprietary solutions, instead of taking responsibility of the maintenance.

    It doesn’t matter how bad or limiting that proprietary option is. As long as it somewhat fits our scenario and requires less code, it’s fine.
