I'm so tired of projects being like "We're open-source" and then they're hosted on GitHub, using Discord and whatever fucking other awful tooling they can get their hands on. Thanks guys. I'll definitely check out your project, yes.
how does that make the project any less open-source?
what's next, shaming project owners for living in a house that they pay for with a corporate job?
we get it, you hate capitalism, but that doesn't mean other people want to go live in the woods too... gotta be realistic :)
They are still technically open-source. I'm not saying that they're not. But they're actively alienating users who want to use open-source, because those users cannot get support, report bugs or contribute to the project without using proprietary software.
How extreme do you have to be to only use websites if they are open source?? That's roughly 0% of the web.
