I have no opinion and am just seeking clarification as an admin who occasionally gets complaints that I’m unsure how to address.

Thanks!

Edit to add an example edge case: DuckDuckGo is proprietary, but is anyone going to argue against its promotion? Isn’t Proton Mail similarly only FOSS on the client side?

  • yes, it still is enforced.

    And sometimes the mods are really overzealous enforcing it. Or at least they were on Reddit.

    example: i said that i liked the Layout of Outlook and my Comment got removed because that was endorcement of closed-source Software to them. on a Post where i asked which Programs i could use to replace Outlook

    so: yes and yes.

    P.S: I’m still grateful to them for moderating this community for me. No bad feelings, love you guy <3
