    Yeah it’s FLOSS and you can do whatever you want with it - no doubt due to the leftist beliefs of the authors.

    Regarding doing saying and thinking whatever one wants - yeah I didn’t censor anyone, I’m not an unhinged mod with an appetite to ban anyone who disagrees with me - and there’s no way to stop someone from thinking whatever they want anyway wtf are we even talking about?

    I just thought it’s in bad taste to use someone’s FLOSS software whilst calling them slurs. Alternatives exist which would be more aligned ideologically with OP’s beliefs, that’s all.

      I don’t know if I’d really call Tankie a slur just because “tankies” don’t use the term. That’s like saying Thatcherite, carpet bagger, TERF or brownshirt are slurs. You may not identify with the term but we have a long way to go before its a slur.
