Yeah, I really don’t get this.

Forking the repo, keeping everything as it is, compiling from source to…. own Alex Gleason?

I moderate r/Fediverse and often express my beliefs about this: I don’t care who made the software. I never paid you a dime. You support software freedom the way I do, your software doesn’t contain any inherent biases, I can use it in whatever way I want to.

You made a tool. You didn’t make a tool that can only be used in one way or the other. You made a tool. I’m not going to stop using your tool simply because I disagree with you. I’d only do that if I’d have to pay for your tool.

And if it’s about using software made by someone you disagree with then…. what’s a fork gonna do? 99% of that source code will still be written by the guy you’re trying to avoid. Makes no sense to me…
