Jesus christ people. Someone explicitly tells you why they can't use open-source stuff for its poor accessibility, and you all choose to respond by going "it's not that bad"? What is wrong with you??? How do you STILL miss the fucking point of the post

Like, I assign great value to the ideas behind open-source, but it's shit like this that makes me wonder whether I actually want to have
anything to do with the broader "open-source community" because it sometimes feels like nobody wants to ask themselves any questions beyond the LICENSE.md

@joepie91 The last people who should be entrusted with the promise of open source are the open source community ;-)

@freakazoid @joepie91 honestly sometimes it feels like a separate open source/free/whatever you wanna call it, idk, community needs to be set up with inclusivity and anti-toxicity built in from day one, and all the fuckers from the current FOSS culture just, not let anywhere near it 💀
