    I’d imagine gatekeeping based on a percentage of FOSS used isn’t going to win many hearts and minds in the long run for our communities. Imagine if the Linux community decried using the Steam Store on FOSS operating systems.

    If the tool is best for the job, people will use it. Our role is to make FOSS that tool in each category.

      Yeah, and in terms of usability Discord alternatives are really quite substantially behind Discord in terms of functions.

      I don’t think the same is with Reddit and Lemmy/Piefed. The distance is not so vast.
