Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P

Linux Mint user, I hope that's not a problem
Apparently that's the only thing a lot of Lemmy users do
Most people don't even think about software, they will happily use whatever came on their device by default. The next time you buy a new phone or laptop and it is crammed full of trash software it is because people DO NOT think about software choices at all.
Same tbh this weird hive mind mentality thing I was happy to leave behind on reddit only to come to pretty much the same thing with a different coat of paint.
It's important, especially in the early days of Lemmy that we set good groundwork for the infrastructure we're going to use for the next 10 years or so.
By it's nature, it certainly seems like there will be a wide variety of apps for accessing Lemmy.
I'm far more concerned about if Lemmy will be a thing for the next 5...let alone 10 years, than making sure everyone decides on the app I feel is the right one.
