The app has not been updated in more than a month and LJ also has not been active on lemmy and this community for nearly a month. Is he okay¿?

With the way the Lemmy community treated him for releasing a "non-FOSS" app, I wouldn't be surprised if he bailed. I would've.

FOSS users the vegans of software.

[-] grayman@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Nah... The loud foss users are like vegans. Plenty of us are quiet and actually donate to foss groups.

FOSS is lemmys greatest strength and its biggest flaw. Too much foss nerdery on lemmy and it's boring the average folk.

I wouldn't say boring, I'd say frustrating. You cannot use Lemmy for any kind of tech support if you're not using Linux or FOSS software.

If you make a post asking for help with a software you need, someone will ignore you and tell you to use some garbage ass incomparable FOSS version. Use anything not Linux? Use Linux, idiot.

You pay for YouTube premium because it's $5 per month using the family plan, and you're okay with paying a few bucks for entertainment? Go die from cancer. Actually, though, someone called me a racist and a Holocaust denier for saying I pay for YouTube premium since I split it between my family, and it's pretty damn cheap. Their comments were heavily upvoted and mine were downvoted.

Lemmy genuinely isn't fun anymore. It's so incredibly toxic.

Oh ya, don't forget the fuck cars community telling me it's my fault my city doesn't have great public transit? Like bro, I moved here a year ago. This city was built hundreds of years ago. How the fuck is that my fault?

You were probably initially downvoted for generalizing and the fact that Google is already doing fine for servers and barely pays creators.

[-] Polar@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

And that's a great reason to call me a racist Holocaust denier! And it's great to see their comments get a ton of upvotes, too!

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

Yeah, no argument that the other commenter went completely off the rails.

[-] Deftdrummer@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah Capitalsim bad - every topic, capitalism bad.

[-] rimorso@feddit.it 2 points 1 year ago

Not to mention the fact that many people don't know what FOSS means, given that it's not used widely outside programmer circles and nobody ever defines the term.

I'm still hoping we get more of the general population on lemmy to help it grow, rather than only be filled with programmers.

With the Lemmy community not being that big, the circle jerk tends to be everywhere. I personally am really turned off by the extreme and open xenophobia.
