I definitely can understand it, but that isn’t mutually exclusive with me wishing people would take a second to check the community they’re commenting in.
I’ve never implied it was malice (suggesting closed-source software in a FOSS community is a pretty weak example in maliciousness even if on purpose!) And really I wouldn’t say I’m worked up, I just wanted to bring this up because I’ve noticed this type of thing happen across a couple FOSS communities on lemmy and maybe someone will see my original comment and be more mindful of it next time.
I’m a sync user, scrolled in from all, and saw this post.
Didn’t know it was the FOSS community till I saw (your?) the top level comment mentioning it.
I think you are seeing this more because the FOSS community gets up voted enough to appear in the all list, which brings us all users in. I certainly have seen it more than once as well. We don’t search for communities, we search for content. Good content brings in activity!
