Never understood the point of an RSS reader that points you towards self hosted things?
It isn't a RSS reader in the least
Well not for RSS it isn't, but the function of it is the same. Follow people, not platforms.
Stick to your effectively proprietary app then
First off, it's open source, and secondly, it's more important that users and content are not tied to a centralized figure to give them all the power of discrimination and censorship. Get the fuck off your high horse.
It is source available not open source or libre. The license strips away the 4 software freedoms. It is just as "open source" as the Windows XP source code leak.
Did you actually read the license?
To expand, unlike a free software license where you are free to create a fork, if FUTO stop supporting it you're fucked
It says you're free to make your own edits for non-commercial use though right? Is that not the same?
It isn't a free software license. (Yes I did read the license and it is not free software compatible)
You a big RMS fan? I'm a big Louis Rossmann fan.
