open source software at this point is just a pawn for being misused by extremists.
someone once said 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions' or something like that.
anyway, i'll get some friends on there and organise a a̶t̶t̶a̶c̶k̶ party.

This comment makes me question if you know what open source software is.
1. get banned from platform.
2. move to another platform.
3. spew shit.
4. go to step 1.
If the above happens for a certain amount of time, think about what the extremists are going to use when they finally realise they need to "build their own" stuff?
The next one after Mastodon will probably be Matrix and by then it's already too late.
I wonder if this (baffling) line of reasoning will become the new "Open Source/FOSS is Communism" of the late '90s early '00s...
But bitcoin is open source (logiciel libre), and its pretty capitalist: look at how it enables people to put market value on really-hard-to-find prime numbers. What's needed to counter any 'open source is communist' rhetoric seems to be an awareness of how much private enterprise and entrepreneurial activity depends on open source.
