Should FOSS be on social media? Is KDE e.v. employee Paul Brown right about X being a nazi platform?Discuss
>>107706525You know which characters will say what. Why are you asking as if it'll occur otherwise?You deserve to be called bait
>>107706588I personally believe that FOSS should only be on 100% FOSS social media if it has to be otherwise just RSS feeds, no need to turn everything into a comment section
>>107706525>nazi nazis>there are nazis>he is nazi>followers are nazi>i saw a nazi>nazis nazeee>did you not see the nazi???>nazi>did I not mention the nazi?
Twitter being a waste of time is trivially obvious to any thinking person. If you really need to explain to someone why it sucks, they are a retard and it's easier to just shut them up by talking about heckin' evil chuds or whatever.
>>107706525what the fuck does nazi even mean to these people?

>>107706604You go along on the line of extremism, but I get your point of view.On one hand, FOSS needs to have a public facing, but on the other hand, that facing can be seen as a bigger harm to the community because of the character of twitter. This is all without taking into account the establishment of martial law on X.I could argue that one could set up bot accounts for just posting important events on social media, but have a redirect link back to the original website. It would be a solution that takes advantage of the oen medium to spread FOSS, but be so impersonal and occasional that it doesn't spark controversy.One could remark from this that taming social media is impossible, and that global public forums of this kind shouldn't exist on regards of their futility to serve society. I think social media should return to primitive conditions wherein people rely on websites, blogs, forums. Ideally in such a way that everybody can be able to host their own website and only bother to use social media in specialised areas like how 4chan is split into boards. I agree with your disdain for unrestricted global-reaching comment sections that social media seem like
>>107706622Im brown and nazi tho
>>107706798Good.
>>107706798tautology
>>107706525necessary, when talking about technical problems that cannot be solved by a small technical communityleft politics exists to allow equality for all who contribute to the code regardless of race
Oh no, a KDE marketing consultant has opinions about X and Elon Musk. What an outrage.
>>107706622hahahahahaa
>>107706525>Kikes are nazis, now
>let's repost it here to flood it with channer nazis insteadfuck you.
>>107706525man, communists really are deranged conspiracy theoristsimagine typing that and expecting anyone to feel safe having you around their children
>>107707923Points 3 and 4 aren't theories. Everything else is just retarded name calling though. Being deeply involved in politics and being stupid tends to go together
