@chirpbirb@meow.social I think that goes even beyond free software, just ask windows or adobe users who might've paid for it, paying the creators

@chirpbirb@meow.social you could of course decide to boycott a type of software over the disagreement, I think a lot of linux users can find themselves in that, and in that sense you can definitely send a strong signal together by boycotting. but the relationship is not so simple that you could state that people who use xyz always endorse the creators of xyz. You don't always have that choice, or the ability, or even just the energy to boycott and uproot what you need or enjoy just to make a statement.
