  • I can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find it this explanation.

    My first thought was “wait did discord saying something bad about FOSS lately?” No, nothing unusual. Must be missing something.

    Turns out some people see Discord as a sort of mascot for closed source, and that is what the joke hinged on.

    Edit:

    Actually it’s worse than that, isn’t it? They’re seeing the coexistence of closed source as being antithetical to open source.

    Good luck with that I guess.











  • Voting doesn’t change anything. Not voting kills us.

    We vote to buy time. We use that time to perform direct action.

    These 2 things are not mutually exclusive.

    This is what I’ve been trying to tell people, especially young lefties.

    It just does not make sense to me why you would look at a broken system which gives a massive advantage to one party, see that the people trying to fix the system all belong to the other party, and arrive at the conclusion that both parties are equally at fault and the only solution is to throw your hands up in invisible protest.

    It would be one thing if they just said they didn’t care, but they seem to be convinced they are actually able to affect change this way.

    It’s like finding yourself in a fist fight and seeing your buddy just standing there laughing.
