I didn’t say that it has to. It’s my choice to choose an option that respect my freedom. I have no issue with Arctic and it being proprietary. I simply use it to test the client and not interact extensively with the fediverse. One of the reason I like the Fediverse it’s because it’s Free Software as in Freedom, and that’s the same reason why I like Free and Open Source Clients for the Fediverse. I use proprietary software in my life and I can live with that.
Maybe but this isn’t free and open source software…
It is free. The developer is here. Maybe you should stop being a curmudgeon about everything.
Purity testing is idiotic.
Free as free beer not as freedom
Ffs. People like you are absolutely exhausting.
There is no reason that a fediverse client has to be free or open source. It just so happens that connect is excellent and is free.

Then why did you open your big mouth? No one fucking cares.
