IMPORTANT UPDATE ON COMMUNITY. (lemmy.sdf.org)

As lemmy is a Foss and privacy respecting platform built on that ethics and morals it is only right the clients following those morals should be the most promoted and used. In the past you may have needed proprietry apps or tools but the need is no more as more foss apps and tools that can cater to everyones taste for all platforms are available now ( see the megathread ) there is no need to use proprietry apps which are privacy nightmares and tracks, pushes ads. etc and also if a proprietry app dev decides to collect data there is no wayto know or if they close development the app is gone but with foss someone will fork it . In the past this sub has allowed posts about proprietry apps and tools those posts will stay as it is and you can interact with it but posting any new one will lead to warning and then ban this decision was made as a community by conducting a poll.

The question here isn't even about the relevancy of non FOSS apps, it's about how you changed this community without consulting the community members first.

Your position on FOSS is understandable (I get it, even if I don't share it), but, as several members suggested to you, why don't you create another community restricted to FOSS apps?

The poll results are in favor of restoring the community to the previous state. If you don't think it's a valid poll (which I would agree with), then why did you made the changes?

I escalated the issue to the LW admins on the moderators community, this is getting out of hang.

Blaze, thanks for being the advocate Lemmy needs.

[–] Blaze@reddthat.com 1 points 9 months ago

Thank you, appreciated!

As I said, I raised the issue to the LW admins on !moderators@lemmy.world, feel free to follow that thread

You do know there are seperate subs for proprietry apps right RIGHT ? Go there for the love of god .

Or instead of subverting the will of the community, you could create /c/lemmyfossapps and moderate that, instead. It makes more sense to make a separate community than to fracture one that already exists.

Just listen to the community
