I still disagree with how this was executed:
I’m putting further pressure on this because:
Here are some alternative solutions we could discuss:
Regardless, please take the time needed to do this fairly and consider both sides. Changing the topic of a 5k-member community based on a 50/50 or even 60/40 vote should not be taken lightly.
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?
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:
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.
Might have spoken too soon, sorry. I saw you were banned on awful.systems but looks like the ban was an accident (modlog).
You don’t have to do any of that, I was just pointing out that none of us really know who you are, where you came from, or how you became a mod here. That makes the decisions you’re making for this community more difficult to receive.
If another poll (through StrawPoll or something else more fair) is the only option you’ll consider, I vote for that. I still think a separate community for FOSS Lemmy apps would be best given the results so far, but it’s ultimately up to you
