In regards to the use of (free/libre software unfriendly) network services only for advertising campaigns: I'm not sure if FSFE should go that far as to do the advertising themselves. I think so because, suppose the advertising is done by FSFE, from here on I assume that FSFE will only publish the advertisements, but no other activity will be made in that network service (no replies, follows, likes).
So, considering the assumptions made so far, suppose some user of that network service becomes interested in what FSFE publishes (assuming he does open the links and contributes eventually). What if, however, after being interested, he decides that he wants to keep up with what the FSFE does, and wrongly decides to do so using the same network service he's already using, because he wasn't aware of another way of doing so. What happens now is that person will continue using that network service until he's aware of another way to keep up with the FSFE. Of course, I'm not related to the FSFE, so this is only my personal opinion. Besides, the FSFE has other ways with which people can keep with what is being done (e.g.: newsletter, news/content feed), although in other cases/organizations/groups this might not be very clear. About developers thinking that (free/libre software unfriendly) network services is where the most important discussion happens, and so undermine the free/libre software friendly network services (also including those with free/libre JavaScript, clearly indicated to the visitor/guest/client : I also agree with you on that. :) _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://lists.fsfe.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
