I said that leftists shouldn’t be doing open source platform development for libs and instead should be protecting lemmy with copyright so that libs can’t use it. I was yelled at, but I will die on that hill maintaining I was correct.
I’m not trying to like call the devs libs or anything, and I’m appreciative of their work.
. I understand why intellectual property is bad, and how open source is useful for auditing. My argument is just that we don’t live in a world where leftists can do open source development and it won’t just be taken by libs to be used in ways other than how we intended it to be used.

I understand your argument. But I think @[email protected] and @[email protected] are big open-source people and want to give back to that community.
I can respect that for sure.
I am sure there has been some lemmy contributions from libs. So maybe there is some tangible upside to them being around. Lol
