phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 4 days agoIsn’t not doing that part of the draw of foss? That sort of UI/“engagement” is necessary for monetization but is not for foss.
A product getting “sold” is in direct contradiction to it being foss. That’s the viewpoint of money and enshittifiers.
Most people here are specifically avoiding those companies in part because of their “engagement” algorithms.

No! I apologize for not being clearer.
The point isn’t that foss has to be cash grabbing
It has to be likeable, lovable. Something that becomes familiar and comfortable as soon as a user starts using it, WITHOUT the nefarious monetization that the corps hang on it.
Think of it as your favorite cookies a friend bakes and gives out for free. Everyone loves them, their I. Demand, and their free
I hope I did a better job explaining my position. I’m not batting A thousand today in that arena lol
