I'm sorry but... what is FOSS? I'm new here.

[–] Xylight@lemdro.id 18 points 3 months ago

FOSS = Free and Open Source Software. Open source means the source code of a program is available for anyone to view, and free (as in freedom) means the community can contribute to it (this is an oversimplification). FOSS software, like Lemmy, is not owned by a company and as such the software is (usually) developed for the benefit of everything rather than for maximum profit.
