I implore any of the #Fedora #Linux contributors out there that might see this, please do not back the new telemetry proposal. I know telemetry can be incredibly valuable for improving the product offered by Fedora and I'm sure some great improvements can be made with it but I see this as your Amazon Lens moment.

If #FedoraLinux goes ahead with this it doesn't matter that the user can opt-out, it doesn't matter that the data is generic, it doesn't matter that it's anonymized, for now until the end of time Fedora will be called a spyware distro. You will hurt community trust in the project far more than anything you will gain from improving the software and I really don't want to see that happen.

I was planning on moving to fedora kde or kinoite after arch... Now I am having second thoughts. I am between staying on arch, debian-testing and nixos.

@wallmenis @BrodieOnLinux was on fedora gnome since 37. So not long, but with all the red hat drama and now this? I jumped back to arch linux (trying gnome this time). So far red hat is leaving flatpaks alone so I’m still using those, but who knows. A bit of a rant, but ya.

Man if flatpak gets the boot, we're screwed! It is so widespread, it will be a pain to be forked and people start to transition...

@wallmenis @BrodieOnLinux a little dramatic, I actually prefer flatpak, but if I have to I’ll just go back to arch repo/aur.
