It feels refreshing like the old days of Reddit minus the bad stuff. People discussing hobbies, music, technology and stuff.
The one thing this place needs now is gaming discussions.

yeah I agree, foss games are cool but most of them don’t even get close to what most proprietary games have been able to do unfortunately.

Pop culture has nothing to do with FOSS ethics. Do you listen to music or movies only if they are made on an entirely complete FOSS hardware and supply chain?
Creativity if stifled by anything is a problem, be it ethics or lack of.

Even i promote libre culture, but pop culture does not work that way. Creativity expression needs money, and libre culture cannot satisfy the living needs and aspirations of the creative people.
Creative people.have their own needs, be it capitalist greed or aspirations, and they are the generators of creations. Creativity does not happen in a vacuum, as can be seen by the usually terrible UX, and lack of acknowledgement of, in the FOSS space.

The issue is that creative people like to protect their IP, and their rights to it. And that stuff involves money. Non creative people steal the efforts of others mercilessly, which makes copyright law a safeguard to protect rights of creative artists.
Copyright law and patents are abused too though under capitalism, so you have both issues. And then you have the libre culture issue, where everything should be ideally libre, when the creative artists here will never want it, or stop their work altogether wherever such a culture exists.
