        No, I’m saying the FOSS maximalists act exactly the same as Bitcoin maximalists and that kind of closed mindedness is just bad for whatever these people like (open source software and crypto in their cases) as it just pushes people away.

        You wouldn’t convince people to try a hobby you like by sending the weirdo that insults anyone that doesn’t like that hobby to talk to them… Well the weirdos have a platform now and they’re loud as fuck and they’re part of the group that’s in majority so they get tolerated!

        Heck, I was just arguing with one that called those who use closed source software “closed source cucks”…

          I remember being like that as a teen. Unfortunately, Linux has had an air of elitism around it for a long time, possibly since its inception.
