What post are you referring to? And could you link us to the relevant discussion(s) that sparked this post in the first place?
A little bit meta, but I'm fascinated by the vote ratio of your post and comments. Makes me wonder if there's anything personal going on here... And from what I can tell here on Lemmy, I perceive you as a level-headed person.

Thank you. My initial thought was simply that we users should tell how we feel to the FOSS and Linux developers of the software that we use and are especially attached to; but we should do it in a polite way. I've now realized that "FOSS" does not have the connotations that I thought it had, like "community-oriented", "inspired by human rights", and similar. My bad, honestly. There clearly are developers for which working with FOSS is really not different than working in or for some corporation. But luckily there are also developers for which FOSS does have those extra meaning. What's important for me now is to keep supporting the latter, and ignore or shun the former.
