@Suzu @theorytoe @gabriel There's a very simple solution to the Funkwhale problem. As someone said above in this thread, just maintain a set of public patches that remove the bad functionality. Just like many Loonix distros already do. Checking every release for malicious changes is easier than maintaining a fork.

@theorytoe @phnt @gabriel yeah, but that's what I'm talking about. Due to the reasons the projects worked, it kinda makes sense gitea would still be bigger and have more resources available.
But unfortunately, in the case of Funkywhale, yeah, I guess you are right, a fork would be a very small project that would probably die soon as most users and devs would still flock to the original. The reason is because most people don't give a fuck about principles, and they would only care if a change affects them directly, which gives margin for these retards to get in and introduce their bullshit everywhere.
