@dalias @doctormo @socketwench I'm not sure how you're constructing "we".
Because I feel like in much of my political activism over thirty years, I've been trying to convince leftists to use free software instead of proprietary, and almost never succeeded. And now, I have to apologize to anyone who tried to follow my advice.
@foolishowl @doctormo @socketwench I don't see why you'd apologize any more than you'd apologize for trying to convince them to vote for the meh candidate rather than the nazi or the spoiler candidate on nazi payroll.
No matter how bad any of this gets, even the worst mismanaged FOSS is orders of magnitude less bad than the proprietary stuff full of dark patterns, spyware, backdoors, etc.
@foolishowl @doctormo @socketwench To answer your question though, I am constructing "we" as "people who believe in a world where the machines we use to communicate, organize, publish, journal, make things, etc. are not controlled by fascists and made to work against us".
