I laughed.
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.
We also don’t live in a world where leftists can trust a project that isn’t open source to not just be a Fed honeypot. Not that it’s safe to use Lemmy to organize anything real, but at least I know they aren’t leaking my IP to atomwaffen or those Florida Nazis.
