#ThoughtProvoker blobhyperthink

Compare #FreeSoftware activists who refuse to join and use proprietary platforms and tools on sheer principle, not even to try to rescue fellow #FOSS afficionados who are captured there, suffering #FOMO or just misguided.

To the North-Korean liberation movement, refusing to rescue dissidents, on sheer principle, because Kim-Jong Un is still in proprietary power. Instead they build a big fat signpost at the border, saying "Come here, it is the better choice!"

@smallcircles I did everything right: I used my real details and I did it from a library computer. Somehow Facebook was on to me and permanently disabled my account within 2 days.

I've heard from other activists (outside of free software) that they're often targeted, too. Not even controversial ones: think local welfare or recycling advocates. Really.
