I swear the most annoying part of lemmy are the people who think all open source options are better than all closed source.

Then why do you prefer Lemmy over Reddit?

Because it's not Reddit, and is active enough.

In terms of content Lemmy is definitely inferior to Reddit. So it is, it's not very old and not very large compared to Reddit. But because of Reddit's decisions, I'm here instead of there.

Because it's less addictive than Reddit.

For me it's the ones complaining about how you spend your own money ๐Ÿคก

I think you should make an effort to use open source whenever possible, even if it's the inferior option. I don't believe this out of any ethical or moral obligation - it's purely selfish reasons. Any proprietary code that runs on your hardware is something you don't control. For example, we really have no idea what kind of telemetry Microsoft put into Minecraft.

You are essentially taking your hardware - something you physically own and belongs to you - and turning it into a mechanism for advancing the interests of a megacorporation. Me personally, I prefer my hardware to benefit me and me alone. I don't want it sending data home to Microsoft so they can feed their AI models at my cost.

The more proprietary software you run, the less and less you actually own your computer.
