Makes sense to be on that site, since a lot of Lemmy users are probably interested at least in part due to the FOSS nature of it. Maybe it doesn't need to be phrased as a "warning" though, more just as an FYI. Seems like it could scare people away thinking it's a data harvesting tool, but such is life.

There's only two reasons to own something:

  1. To fuck someone over with it, or,
  2. To avoid being fucked by someone else with it.

It is a warning and I think they're being pretty gentle with this needlessly proprietary bullshit

How does my toothbrush fuck anyone over?

When the companies colluded to price fix, you get fucked for not having stockpiled

That's a very black and white way to look at the world but you do you.

"Proprietary software is bad" should be as controversial as "murder is bad"
