@drakulix@social.dreampi.es @erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net "has evolved into"? I think FOSS has always been like this; there's always been a subset of very loud users who will chastise you if you don't make your life as difficult as possible in service of the religious aim of free software (and their own personal interpretation of it)
in the past it was just having a go at people who used macbooks instead of linux laptops (or any Apple product really), or something like that. heck, remember the whole systemd holy wars

@eta@gotosocial.i.eta.st @drakulix@social.dreampi.es @erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net It reminds me "the war" in early 2000 when people get upset because you published your code using BSD licence instead of GPL'd one.
