FSF). This statement is false. If you had talked about *your* preference, it would be true. But to state that federated/decentralized tools are universally preferred is nonsense. You know as well as I do that most users/contributors go for convenience. And if you require an inconvenient step (e.g. subscribing to a federated/decentralized philosophy), most potential contributors simply stop being potential contributors. End of story. Ciao, Johannes
