You mean it's easy to forget about Discord's practices because their product is good.
Seriously, you're arguing that they get to do whatever because "their product is good"??
Do I have to spell out how egotistical this attitude is?
- Blackthorn 7y agoThat's not what I said, but don't let that get in the way of a good rant.
- esyir 7y agoYes. Because that's what matters if you actually want to win. There are a thousand Foss software packages or there that are philosophically superior and have better practices than their commercial brethren. But they lost, and in the end that's what matters.
- tripzilch 7y agoBut only because there are a hundred times more "commercial brethren", some of whom "won" and apparently get to do whatever. It's still a choice that people make, except it's a "tragedy of the commons" situation. Which is what I wanted to point out in my probably somewhat too harshly worded comment.
