     Thing is, purity tests don’t create social change—especially with software.

     I remember a time in which certain desktop Linux advocates bemoaned anyone using proprietary drivers or codecs. If you did that, you were an enemy of free software—no different from Microsoft.

     Meanwhile, most people moving to Linux wanted to listen to music, watch movies, and play video games. So what did they do?

     They used Linux distros that provided the proprietary drivers and codecs. The purists moaned and complained. But the likes of Ubuntu and Mint gained popularity because of it.

     Well, we’re seeing the same thing with the Fediverse now. The purists decry anything that disturbs them. Meanwhile, regular folks just want to follow and interact with people they like.
