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.
