THE site "It's FOSS" suggests alternatives to FOSS. At least half of those alternatives are NOT FOSS, so why bother? █

Yeah, when I first got into Linux and FOSS I'd read their articles to get oriented. Even followed them on Mastodon. For a time, the articles and content were good, but after a while I noticed a decline in quality and more talk about proprietary things.

Nowadays, I've muted ItsFOSS on Mastodon and actively avoid reading their articles, because they run so many paid placements and low quality stories with non-free things placed front-and-center.

Glad I'm not the only one of this opinion. Let's hope ItsFOSS changes

They won't. Let's hope they're forgotten instead.

There website doesn’t even work, people who absolutely blocked all trackers are faced with cloud flare issues. Everything in itsfoss website is javascript. The sad part, there’s alternative to cloud flare but they won’t use it.
