  • Though I know what this is for, but I am against blocking VPNs and Tor since it prevent privacy-conscious people like me and other people such as dissents or other having high risks of like harassment online.

    The instances being affected the most are those with open registration, and don’t block registration from temporary email providers, and have don’t have like automatic filter or using Fediverse softwares not providing such.

    Though given Lemmy development may not support blocking registration by emails or filtering keywords or filtering federation of very new accounts/new account having no profile, manual approvement registration or applying bots filtering repeating spams may be enough without blocking VPNs or Tor I think







  • It seems like what I’ve read from GPLv2 and GPLv3 as well as RH’s EULAs, contrary to some people here, Red Hat technically didn’t violate the GPL, but they are already not following the spirits of GPL and free software/open source (People expect free/open source software as in they can easily find the source publicly accessible in GitHub, GitLab, CodeBerg, or whatever Git, Subversion,… repos of your company or organization). And I think they don’t believe in free marketing either, many other companies are aware that people are pirating their softwares, or compiling the software themselves (if it’s open source) and give them as if it’s from them for free; especially when you’re dominating a market segment, it can make people exposed and relying on your softwares, so that anyone will mandate to use your softwares because it’s “industry standards”.
