Graphite.rs is node-based.

It’s entirely different workflow.

Fediverse is all about inclusivity. You want to create your own community? Sure. You don’t like creators? Just block them.

It’s not about commodification of culture, but realizing that all illustrator, comic artist, writer, and designer are in the end still have to make money for their living.

Even Lemmy, Mastodon, or any FOSS software still need funding to make it works.

It’s possible to make creators on fediverse feels like their home without all corporate greed. Even right now, a lot of comic artist and writers are making their way here, posting their creativity on various instance.

AlternativeTo is crowdsource, so one individual might find software A as suitable alternative, while others are not.

The same way that some people find GIMP enough to replace Photoshop, while others prefer Affinity Photo, Paint.NET, or Photopea.

I personally find so many cool underrated FOSS software, such as Inochi2D, AB Download Manager, Miria, OpenUTAU, Our Paint, Mihon, and Wick Editor.

Asian here and rice eater here.

Language doesn’t work in absolute way, it could change its meaning all the time.

It’s better to regain is neutral meaning instead of letting the racist weaponize neutral word.

Also, this mindset is also Western centric, go to Asia and people in Linux and car community simply use the word without any negative connotation.

Edit: By doing this, you’re no different from imperial government who tries to make one standard of morality, which in fact further hurts Asian living in Asia. And as Indonesian, I’m hurt with your statement. Let me regain the neutral meaning. Don’t speak for us.
