I still find it inappropriate for a FOSS project to promote closed non federated communication tools. Hopefully they won't be stuck with Discord because "we already switched to it".
- stjohnswarts 7y agoI think they are just being pragmatic. No one, not even RMS, ever felt that open source needed to be open source from bottom to top, just the final product. You have to be pragmatic in this life. We can't wait for open source processors running on open source hardware on and open source OS compiled on an open source compiler before something gets released. I find it entirely appropriate for them to be pragmatic and use the tools to get done what they need to get done.
