FOSS isn't a political ideology itself, no. That's like saying Mutual Aid or Worker Democracy aren't political ideologies. Technically correct, but that wasn't the point, all of those are leftist structures.

Communism is a political ideology, and I don't think it can be globally considered fringe. Perhaps in the US, but not globally.

Well anyways I don't think it should be allowed in this community. This isn't a communist community.

[-] Cowbee@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

Everything is political, where do you draw the line? Where it doesn't align with your views?

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 3 points 10 months ago

Well I don't like it so it shouldn't be here.

tell me you're a conservative without saying it lmao

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -1 points 10 months ago

Honestly we should just refrain from making political commentary. We all now that extreme conservatives are just as bad.

WHEN WILL YOU PEOPLE LEARN THAT EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL?

The libre software movement has the stated goal of making a political statement. Your decision to exclude discussion of a certain ideology in a certain forum is itself a political decision. It is turtles all the way down.

Call it what you wish but I will never associate libre software with communism

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
