Rentlar

It’s non-free, it’s non-libre, but it does pass the bar of open source software. The OSI, EFF, RMS or whoever don’t have to say it is in order for it to be true.

You can distribute it but there are limitations on it, you can make a fork of Grayjay that is free to use, review, re-distribute and add parts to it adhering to other open source licenses from whence they were developed as long as it’s non-commercial, and doesn’t make any representations on behalf of FUTO or Rossman, essentially.

My suggestions were limit number to 5 user applicable tags, communities having a whitelist of tags, and an instance’s slur filter applying to tags.

My commits comments end up like this most of the time

Rentlar committed: Fixed a, b, c, changed file x, added y improvement, deleted unnecessary z

– 15 minutes later – Rentlar committed: Shit I broke something, fixed.

– 10 minutes later – Rentlar committed: fix the damn formatting complaints

I mean, go ahead, fork it, I can’t stop you from doing that.

The reason why people still use the main fork is that at least someone is there fulltime making sure lemmy works. Now all the issues that were in Lemmy are now the responsibility of you and the people you convinced to develop for your fork to fix. On top of that, problems caused by the fixes you made also have to be fixed.

This goes for any phone app:

• No onerous Terms of Service Agreement required
• cheap and easy to develop
• Easy to make fully open source apps
• great backwards compatibility (some apps built for Android versions from 13 years ago can still be used)
• no need to be locked into Apple’s ecosystem
• no need to pay Apple fees to “be a developer”.
• easy to load apps into phone without going through the official store or “test flight”

It doesn’t have a crazy amount of features, but I use Odessey music player app.

It’s free, open source GPLv3. Does what I need, looks fine.

Reddit becoming voat is not on my bingo card but stranger things have happened this year…
