ninaexcellent to see that making it more than `apk del nano` to remove it from your standard installation of your distro still turns away these people with zero effort https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1dvqwg7/a_proposition_to_the_community_to_program_and/
fluffeon@q66 I did try this!
I read through the comments and apparently this is supposed to be removed differently.
Even besides everything, I don't find the implicitness of "what the user preferably should do" while at the same time having an expectation set on that to be comfortable at times, specially when one just wants to remove a text editor and doesn't expect it to be pulled as a system hard-dependency out of all things. This could be helped by a clarification somewhere.
No animosity though, I wanna make that clear.

more yapping that doesn't fit the char limit. don't take this personally, my intention is to give constructive criticism in regards to this distribution. Maybe all of the things I'm saying are not in the goals list, and I understand if it is not.
*last statement about setting in stone is exaggerated, tl;dr there's not a "way" explicitly said for a user to take on the modularity of their system, which in some cases like mine resort to speculation or habit. At least now I know that in terms of distributions, user customisation can be enabled by the maintainers in a lot of different ways.
@flookerton apk add '!base-full-misc'
@q66 for some reason the instance doesnt show the constructive criticism i made later in regards to that (I rarely use mastodon) , but yeah you are correct.

@flookerton the point is to provide a default that will satisfy the vast majority of users without having to tinker further, otherwise we get people who don't really know what they are doing coming in and trying strange things
the base-full package is intentionally set up in a modular way so that some (or even all) components can be omitted as needed, there are no hard deps so one gets all the control they want, it's just done in a way that you really have to declare that you want it that way
@flookerton i'm aware that the documentation for it is not the best right now but that's what you can expect from a distro in this stage of development
also the reason your posts are getting hidden is that a lot of instances mute mastodon.social (including mine) due to influx of spam accounts from there
you'll encounter the same thing with many others so i suggest finding a better instance
