No need to be so defensive... unless you you the F-Droid team they are writing about. Are you?
Either way it is just whataboutism aimed at a strawman. No one is saying proprietary software is better.
Not sure why its still showing for you but i removed my comment seconds after posting as i misread and didnt know this was about bulling. I firmly stand against bullies of any kind.
Ever since the xz thing i have noticed a general increase in articles and clickbait titles spreading fear about open source software in general, its started to feel like intentional propaganda, for this post it was unwarranted.
Ps: please do confirm if my comments is removed by now on your end, i suspect comments may not always continue to sync between lemmy servers after the first initial postings.
Your original comment is not showing for me.
No, I still see it. Not sure why, maybe because I commented on it.
I've had several comments behave the same way, unable to actually delete them, even after waiting a while for the delete to propagate.
The best thing to do is edit it to be just a period then delete. I can still sew deleted comments by hitting copy text
There's always been FUD around OSS, this is just a fresh wave of it since the xz thing got quite a bit of publicity.
