Many sites like “Elude” work perfectly without javascript, allowing their use through tools to escape censorship such as Tor.

Why doesn’t Lemmygrad implement this too?

    It’s not about state secrets…it is about user rights which is paramount to the free software movement. If developers really feel JS is necessary (its not) they should at least limit themselves to libre-js (they don’t).

      If you want to tell us how to do our work, then you should pay us. Otherwise, the software is available as is.

        I think you mis-understood my comment, I was only pointing out fsf philosophy which isn’t solely to hide “state secrets”, I have no problem using as is (since obviously, I am).

          Sure, I’m in favor of user rights, too, but that’s not what this OP was complaining about. I’m barely contributing anything to Dessalines’ patreon, so I’m not about to make any demands about how they do anything. I’m very glad the devs have taken the time they have to do all this great work on lemmy.

            Again, I wasn’t making demands! Perhaps an implied suggestion, which I wont do again, but really was just saying having libre code isn’t all about hiding secrets. That’s all I was saying.
