Why is any informational discourse regarding anything not strictly OSI-style open source immediately removed by moderators in this community? How can we expect people to educate themselves through censorship instead of public discussion? I’m looking for an open source licensing strategy for my own startup company and discussing the do’s, don’ts or even perception of different licenses and strategies seems highly important to the community to me. I could understand if it was actively promoting something ‘bad’ or wouldn’t mind having clear tags or disclaimers that underline what is or isn’t strictly OSI but it feels a bit too rigorous right now 😕
I guess you are referring to the recent futo topic https://lemmy.ml/comment/16469376 I didn’t like it at first either, yet I understand his reasoning and kind of support it.
On reddit, I remember a fitness community that had very strict rules. Whatever wasn’t in line with what was supposed to be posted on that day got removed. At first, I hated it, but after a while I understood that it can be important to have a curated sub.
Maybe it should be highlighted that this is about freedom/ liberty?
The name of the community should make that obvious.
