    But this isn’t a Linux-centered instance.

    Just because the Fediverse is FOSS doesn’t mean we have to shill out to everything FOSS on every instance.

    That is like claiming since the Fediverse runs on servers, we should all ditch our regular computers and phones and only connect over server hardware.

    It is okay to like FOSS, but it is an other thing to keep bringing it up ad nauseam, especially if the topic isn’t even related. It only makes the Linux community look bad.

      Your instance maybe, but some are, like programming.dev, and the way federation works is we can all talk to eachother.

      Not everyone is on db0 either, but here I am talkin’.

      Then downvote them and move on, man. You’re complaining about people using the platform they believe in to talk about something else they believe in. They’re not doing anything wrong, and whether or not it annoys you is not anyon else’s concern but your own.

      That’s why there a voting system.
