FOSS doesn't

It can as it turns out

In general it is less problematic though

Nope. Self hosted software isnt an issue.

Proton has loads of code that isnt Foss. That's a problem here.

A horribly toxic and hateful community, to the point I do not use it.

Far from the only FOSS communities like it, but it's a very prominent example of a piece of software I would not associate with at all.

Compare it to Tesla and Musk.
