    A lot of open source advocates do tend to be inclined to open source software on an open source link aggregator.

      Yeah that ain’t the issue, it’s moreso the attitude than anything when someone chooses something that fits their needs better than the open-source alternative.

      I say this as someone who uses Firefox but still uses MusicBee.

        Out of a quick glance (really quick), I found this: https://lemmy.ml/comment/2915403

        It seems you’re throwing rocks and getting surprised when people generally respond. You cannot complain about fanboyism when you’re trying to start fires. If you don’t want those conversations, maybe don’t start 'em.

        I get that when you bash Firefox on reddit, you can start a circlejerk, but you don’t get the same response here and it’s as much to do with you being used to the biases of reddit.

          That was after dealing with said fanboyism both here and on Reddit. Thought I should warn OP. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

            There wasn’t any really in that thread. You brought it up.

            I’m sure you’ll warn OP, and another OP, and another OP, and another OP, and after getting any response, blame Firefox fanboys for beaing unbearable…
