    Or is it just for Foss projects that’s provided for free you have the purity tests for?

    I have “purity tests” of:

    • Don’t be an asshole to minorities
    • Don’t justify being an asshole to minorities.

    So far it works pretty well. I don’t see a reason to be friends with or use products made by such people.

    linux is also problematic here and there. Wikipedia I just donated to also. Hell I don’t think there’s a single project other than my own small scripts I use that would pass my own purity tests.

    What has Linux had issues with, along with Wikipedia? I can’t think of anything where major Linux devs have advocated for harming groups. If anything, torvalds hates those kinds of people.

    Feels like a good psyop from anyone if you want to damage Lemmy and Foss competition in my meaning.

    The psyop of “I don’t wanna give money to people who harm my friends”? Sure dude.

      No you don’t. Or at least your fine with the fails. otherwise you wouldn’t be able to comment here. Or do you believe there are no really shitty person’s in tech?

      Lol if you haven’t seen the issues with toxic tech communities online you must have kept your eyes closed very hard.

      By your own standards not “harming people” is quite far from the I want shit for free but won’t pay because o don’t like a dude developing the free stuff I use.

      The psyop of “I don’t wanna give money to people who harm my friends”? Sure dude.

      Well you do. Or are you living in a hut in the forest sending smoke signals to get your comment here?

      Maybe don’t let perfect get in the way of good?
