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
