#fossarian — Public Fediverse posts

@ed @gerry @downey @tcarrez As quoted in the #Fossarian essay¹: “If you’re explaining, you’re losing” —Ronald Reagan. His point w/that quote is to stress the importance of simplicity. ① https://thefreeworld.noblogs.org/post/2023/04/15/what-do-you-call-people-who-reject-non-free-software/

@Wuzzy The section “Fossarians come in different varieties” was added to include #utilitarianFossarian, #deontologicalFossarian, and #strictFossarian. Hopefully that addresses the concern for lack of catchiness. I think #fossarian alone is catchy enough for normies who are already overwhelmed, but it’s about knowing your audience. The adjectives will serve more advanced audiences.

What do you call someone who rejects #nonfreesoftware? “#Fossarian”. https://thefreeworld.noblogs.org/post/2023/04/15/what-do-you-call-people-who-reject-non-free-software/ #FOSS #freesoftware
