Yeah, honestly the F is the biggest reason I’m not hardline into FOSS. As a socialist I’m well aware of the benefits of decommodification, and I strongly believe in open sourcing software, but we live in a capitalist world and people are often stingy with donations. It’s part of the reason why I wouldn’t mind a subscription fee for using my instance, paying my admin enough to keep the server on and to compensate them for the labor they do feels reasonable to me.
Same. Be cool if there was some kind of “ethically made, fair hours and wages for workers” seal of approval for games.

I don’t think the whole “free labour” part of FOSS fits the “fair wage” requirement though :')
