Can we avoid clickbait titles? Really hoping the Lemmy community is better than what Reddit turned into.
..I don't see how this is clickbait, this is a major damaging move to downstream distros. They can no longer use RHEL source. Also, I just copy and pasted the original article's title. RHEL is an extremely influential distro, others will follow its lead.
I actually considered changing it at first because I didn't think it properly conveyed just how damaging to open source this is. This is an inflection point for the entire space. Red Hat is one of the most influential distros and others will follow its lead.
If you disagree with my take, fair, but tell me why. Same for all the people upvoting @carlyman's comment. I want to have real discourse with you all, and I will change the title if you have good reasoning that it is in fact inaccurate. Like you said, we don't want this to be like Reddit.
I agree with the sentiment....but hard not to say this isn't a clickbait title. Let's not rely on rhetoric....let's speak with data, details, and specifics to help foster actual discourse and constructive disagreement.
You're upset that the headline didn't have data, details and specifics in it?...
I prefer to avoid clickbait titles and discussions around soundbites. If you prefer clickbait titles and rhetoric, so be it. I was hoping for something different.
