MODERATORS
The point of drawing a line is to make a clear distinction between acceptable and unacceptable. If you just move the line when it's convenient then it means nothing.
Sure, but if you end up policing only those in arm's length you will have the opposite effect on the world of what you want.
Nobody's only policing those in arm's length. I'm sure nobody mad at the Lutris dev over this are defending Google or Microsoft lol
Dude, you're on Lemmy. Do you not realize how many people on here are saying "fuck it, let's drop Google and Microslop and stick with FLOSS"? How many people on here are trying to convince others to switch too?
These people are already doing what they can to steer the entire tech space in the right direction. But it's hard to influence the giants directly. To do that, you need good FLOSS alternatives, which doesn't work if those alternatives start riddling themselves with slop
