C'n'u Socialbeing queer and weird is the Point of Mastodon, Actually
the cishet white FOSS techbros are allowed to stay but don't heck that up
BitHive 
@inurashii If I might Interject Mastodon is Free Software
@bithive WHAT???? IT IS?!?!?!?!?!?!
@inurashii Yes it is GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 so please don't lump Mastodon with FOSS
@bithive I literally do not care
@inurashii This is the same thing like saying one would not care about non-binary people
@bithive Nope, it's nothing like that. Also, what you're saying is utterly orthogonal to what I was talking about. Kindly heck off
Joyeuse Noëlle!@bithive @inurashii This is it, the Literal Worst Take. My dude, if you believe not caring about the specific jargon used to describe a piece of software is the same as not caring about ACTUAL HUMAN BEINGS you have lost your way and need to re-evaluate.
@noelle I see where you're coming from but the actual worst take was the guy who said on the PTL: "the internet wasn't made for snowflakes"
@noelle actual human beeings write software and license it and care about the freedom of other human beeings. If you don't care about license you don't care about freedom and you dont care about humans at all
@bithive put down the kool-aid, my dude
@noelle enjoy your proprietary software :)
@noelle okay, I stand corrected, this guy DID have the worst take ever
@inurashii So I googled it and apparently GNU (read: Stallman) hates the term "FOSS" on principle because "free" and "software" aren't close enough together in the acronym. I am not making this up. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/floss-and-foss.en.html
@noelle *teakettle noises*
Matthew Skala@noelle @bithive @inurashii You're right - but when I first saw that I thought you were talking about the "call them people, not users!" thing. Not thrilled to find there's more than one bad take floating around that requires this response.
