   Looking at the replies on https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@godotengine/113177931856961903

   ... What's up with the FUD spreading on Mastodon?

   The Godot editor is available as direct download, and packaged on Steam, EGS, Google Play, and now Horizon Store as a VR enabled app.
   All open source and free, with no strings attached, but folks on Masto talk as if Godot sold its soul to the devil.

   Mastodon is a platform that claimed to be designed to reduce toxic aspects of social media, but in my experience it's the most antagonistic I'm on.

     Honestly, we do care about sharing our announcements to all users, and especially on a platform that's open source and user owned like Mastodon.

     But we're seriously considering doing so with comments disabled in the future...

     This is just one example but the amount of FOSS absolutists who give us shit for e.g. being hosted on GitHub is just not worth our time.

     I have 15 years of FOSS development experience, I've seen it all. Absolutists just make FOSS seem toxic to pragmatic people.
