minus-squareFades@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12arrow-down7·6 months agoThe joke is that they say they like free and open source software but then point to communicating via software that is not. It’s a shit joke to be fair, like what, you can’t believe in open source unless you use nothing but open source? Fucking stupid
minus-squareMalachaiConstant@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·edit-26 months agoI can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find it this explanation. My first thought was “wait did discord saying something bad about FOSS lately?” No, nothing unusual. Must be missing something. Turns out some people see Discord as a sort of mascot for closed source, and that is what the joke hinged on. Edit: Actually it’s worse than that, isn’t it? They’re seeing the coexistence of closed source as being antithetical to open source. Good luck with that I guess.
