I didn't say it was the only way. But I would argue trying to dam up free thought is also fruitless. The nature of the way this software was designed was to allow for free speech. It's also a community managed software. You could hire people to mod, or write a mod bot, but people would eventually work around it if they felt strongly about their ideas. You're thinking like someone in government: "Those protests are illegal let's sick the police on them." How is your solution any different online vs. in person?

Naive Bright Eye Dev: Let's create a decentralized anonymous platform for people to share their ideas without censorship. They'll all be progressive and have the same politics like me.
Users: Ideas reflect society's sentiment on issues due to a fractured left and strong neoliberal class.
Naive Dev: Pikachu Face.
Some Fractured Left Guy: oh this growth is bad, my dream is "Dying" A ta ta ta.
How do you defeat an idea without addressing its root cause?
Not to detract from these guys because this is a dope release. But there's a relatively new online collaborative open source one called PenPot that's similar to Inkscape worth checking out too.
Yah so Open Source projects, even GPL ones, need to have a non-profit foundation or Co-operative organization housed around them to be sustainable, if not eventually your favourite project will be sold off at some point in time when the project maintainer retires, gets bored, or wants to cash out.
I think we need to start socializing this more that Open Source != noble project you should support. Especially with the big tech companies embracing the concept and stripping the ideology behind it. The fact that Google doesn't allow GPL code should be a red flag for anyone using BSD/Apache/MIT.
You're both wrong, use linux.
Above would be the primary reason. From a business strategy perspective website compatibility is better with Chromium than Firefox. While Firefox is fast now, there was a period in the mid 2010's when Firefox was trying to diversify its income streams that resulted in it taking it's eye off the ball and the browser experience got slower and suffered. We're still seeing this effect even though they have improved the browser significantly over the past couple years.
Ngl 32 minutes is a bit long for explaining a meme's source. Hilarious meme though.
I have a love/hate relationship with Nextcloud for how bad they neglect personal users. They advertise as being an amazing cloud host solution for everyone but unless you use a partner provider you can't get support as a personal user. Even the "gold" Nextcloud hosting providers will say they are powerless when it comes to fixing issues because they're not paying for enterprise support licenses for their personal users. So we're left with these long running issues (I have tickets that have been open since 2018 that are still not resolved) because Nextcloud GmbH has no incentive to fix.
Collabora built Libreoffice Online (C++) to have the software processing happen on the server side. OnlyOffice (HTML5) is built to have the processing on the client side in the browser. From a user perspective I don't think it matters, but I believe most hosting/solution providers looking to offer a whitelabel office suite opt for OnlyOffice because it requires less server resources, as document processing is happening at the edge (the users computer, not the server.) I'm oversimplifying here but that's the high level afaik.
Fair point.
