Libre Culture
What is libre culture?
Libre culture is all about empowering people. While the general philosophy stems greatly from the free software movement, libre culture is much broader and encompasses other aspects of culture such as music, movies, food, technology, etc.
Some beliefs include but aren't limited to:
- That copyright should expire after a certain period of time.
- That knowledge should be available to people, not locked away.
- That no entity should have unjust control or possession of others.
- That mass surveillance is about mass control, not justice.
- That we can all band together to help liberate each other.

Rules
I've looked into the ways other forums handle rules, and I've distilled their policies down into two simple ideas.
-
Please show common courtesy: Let's make this community one that people want to be a part of.
-
Please keep posts generally on topic
-
No NSFW content
-
When sharing a Libre project, please include the name of its license in the title. For example: “Project name and summary (GPL-3.0)”
Libre culture is a very very broad topic, and while it's perfectly okay for a conversation to stray, I do ask that we keep things generally on topic.

I don't use firefox but I do use firefox based browsers.
Waterfox? Something else? What’s your reason?
Not asked, but in my case, I use LibreWolf every day because of its hardened and more privacy-friendly nature. Everything I need works in LibreWolf as well, and I have never had any issues with anything due to the hardening. Similarly, I use Mull instead of Firefox on a mobile phone and my tablet. It is practically the same as LibreWolf, just for phones. Last but not least, I like wolves much more than foxes :-)
I hadn't heard of LibreWolf before, but it looks like a great Firefox replacement. Thanks for the tip!
LibreWolf is simply privacy-friendly pre-configured build of Firefox. Every change LibreWolf introduced can be applied somewhere in Firefox too, as far as I know. But yeah, LibreWolf is awesome and exactly what I wish Firefox would be after a clean install.
