I'm not tempted by it myself despite using it for reddit for years, but there's a weird amount of open source zealotry on Lemmy.

I've seen people complaining that the Nintendo Switch is closed source. Like, no shit.

Much of the operating system software on the switch is derived from older FOSS systems that existed before the GPL became widespread.

It very much should be open source, we just didn't always have the tools to force assholes to keep the stuff we gave them open

I will say that I think the switch, and all hardware for that matter should have jail break options. It's your hardware and you should be able to do whatever you want with it whether the corporation that built it likes it or not. Their opinion shouldn't matter. I think they have every right to kick you off their online services if you do, but I don't think they should be patching jail break options.

You're surprised that open source folks are using an open-source, decentralized network?

There's a difference between using it, and going all Invasion of the Body Snatchers every time they see normie things.
