Haha I guess I cannot argue with the Windows-Linux comparison because that’s another situation where I’m ideologically more sympathetic to the user controlled open source model, but am nevertheless a Windows user for the convenience. I don’t really give much weight to ideology over user experience in making these kinds of choices, for better or worse. Sometimes the version I prefer ideologically produces a superior product because of that better outlook, but often the evil corporate version is a superior product because of their greater resources or greater concern with hooking customers or just network effects, and either way I’m getting the one I think is superior. I haven’t even fully left reddit, though my usage is way way down.

I appreciate you less lazy and more willing to inconvenience yourselves in the name of the open software movement people, without you doing that everything would be worse, even for people using the corporate stuff who don’t even know any alternative exists. Cheers
