It does mean unwilling to pay for closed source software.
They say behind a VPN.
Yeah, I trust the business model where their reputation depends on keeping my data private an order of magnitudes more than the business model that is literally selling it.
If that's your mentality it shouldn't matter whether the software is paid or free as in beer. I'm generally in that group, but I'm pretty pragmatic about using some closed source software when it's non-critical to my life...
A Lemmy app where tons of alternative clients exist and everyone I'm doing is more or less public anyways... Yeah that doesn't need to be free software.
You keep missing the point, I'm done with it.
