This is not a hypothetical and is in fact quite common. Say you're working for a non profit, write code for a standard specification that is better than all other open options. It is better for everyone that companies adopt this code for interoperability.

The reason is not the license.

Ikr. I think were now supposed to say something about how this kind of interaction is so reddit. Loudly enough that we can ignore that it's just how people behave in general.

You know why it hurts so much? Because we know it's true.

Damn you. But bless you too.

But Signal is bad, an op-ed by one of Lemmy's founders: https://dessalines.github.io/essays/why_not_signal.html#conclusions

I certainly agree there is cause for caution, as one should always exercise where trust is placed in such matters. But there are leaps of bad logic in that writeup, and the dog pile of FUD swirling around Signal feels nearly orchestrated.

How very hexbear of you. I only meant... I only wanted to clarify.... Usually ending with a very narrow definition of some word that everyone else must understand your version of or they deserve dunking. Yes, without definitions words are meaningless, blah blah blah, back into another meaningless discussion. My gosh, yall like to extend nonsense ad nauseum.

How very hexbear of you to generalize and slander.

The proletariat dunks again.

I provided a less vauge defintion than you. How am I to understand a defintion that is no more than a quip?

Words only have meaning if their definition is agreed upon. My definition follows this description:

I'm sure you'll make up more crap, your own words and definitions to weaponize, honing your "posting skills", dunking all the way to... Valhalla? All the while making no difference.

Like "liberals" you throw around. Hypocrisy runs deep in your community. (look I can also employ the us versus them super smart trickery! We are so smart, they are so dumb, let's laugh at them!)

Yup. There is only so many ways to say the shit far outweighs the roses. There's lots of hand wringing because a slim minority of thoughtful posts come from an otherwise pool of bile. You can support lgbtq folks and still be an asshole, as repeatedly proven by that community. The feature to block the crypto neofacist tanker incel hexturds cannot arrive fast enough.
