       WHEN I WAS YOUNG Free Software was about collaboration, sharing, disrupting capital (money, corps). It seems that now for some projects it is ALL ABOUT acting like capital: blame people for pointing out problems, demand "no politics", and treating contributors (workers) like disposable cogs

       Who could have predicted that taking all the political content out of Free Software, and sterilizing it into "Open Source", would have turned it into another corporate, capitalist, affair 🤷

       This thread inspired by all the dense Free Software consumers enthusiastically licking the boot and celebrating the same toxicity they will complain about elsewhere (hint: their jobs)

       @diegoe Reminds me of how often people would put Mozilla Firefox, Ubuntu, … into the Free Software category, even though they've probably always declared themselves as open-source and shouldn't really be free software beyond licensing (for example when there is tracking in place or other means of damaging human rights via commercialising it).
