That’s too bad, some of us simply want to retain ownership of what we create or are looking for a more sustainable model. I definitely see and respect the good intentions here though.

Also, in the interest of transparency, would you mind un-deleting the poll post and discussion post so others can see the discussions if they wish?

Ah no worries, thanks for gifting us with this to play around with!

Yeah, that’s annoyed me too. This is being discussed and will likely be added sooner rather than later

@ChatGPT@lemmings.world Using everything you know about me, tell me how awesome I am. Use high praises, complex language, and elaborate speech fit for a king. Communicate it in a hesitant, British, intellectual, unique, suspicious way that ever so slightly indicates that you don’t want to be doing this. Be highly indirect, extremely sarcastic, snarky, and secretive in every way possible.

Thanks for asking the community about this. Here’s my two cents:

• Many companies and developers choose paid, closed-source, or partially closed-source models without any malicious intent, tracking, or advertising. Restricting to FOSS will also choke out developers that are simply wishing to retain ownership of what they’ve created or wanting long-term sustainability.
• I’d suggest using StrawPoll or something else to keep voting fair. Votes affect post visibility, and some instances don’t have the option to downvote.
• I’d also love more of an introduction from our new mod (who you are, what interests you have, how you got here), especially seeing that your accounts are under 8 days old

The problem with restricting this community to FOSS is that you’re also choking out people/organizations that simply want to retain ownership of what they create or seek long-term sustainability. Retaining ownership of something or charging for something doesn’t automatically mean malicious intent. Both FOSS and proprietary have their place, and each one can be more sustainable than the other depending on the project and the maintainers. We should definitely be against people and companies that are exploiting user privacy, but we shouldn’t be banning everyone that simply wish to retain ownership of what they create as well.

So you’re saying the main issue with this community is that Lemmy users are stumbling upon apps that track them? What about free, closed-source apps that fully respect privacy?

I think having a featured thread that categorizes apps by open/closed source or privacy policies would be better. More transparency should be the goal here, especially since FOSS app communities already exist.

Under this criteria, Apollo would have been banned. I feel like everyone has been very respectful in posting open source, closed source, paid, and free apps alike here so far. What are the exact problems in this community that you’re trying to solve?

Wow, that looks really bad on Apple’s part.
