If you follow privacy news, you have probably heard that Skiff, an end-to-end encrypted productivity suite, announced that it has been acquired by Notion. We could not resist chiming in since Skiff was compared with CryptPad in the past.
No one in this community cares about open source. It’s been overrun by privacy redditors, some of whom seem to have a personal mission to campaign against the free software movement. There’s a constant deluge of “it’s not foss but it’s private/not google” apologia in almost every thread here.
I suspect the community being unmoderated is part of the problem.
This is an unfortunate misunderstanding that I try to do my best to fight back against - but the people I’m talking about in this community are well aware they’re in a free software community and disregard that fact because they personally don’t care about software freedom. Which is their right, of course - but it’s disrespectful for them to come into our spaces and push that.
Some of them are prominent members of privacy communities who come into here with a personal vendetta against imagined “FOSS zealots” so they become “anti-FOSS zealots” in our own spaces. Unfortunately I’ve seen this behavior from self-described privacy enthusiasts so often that I’ve started to automatically distrust said people.
