Sometimes I wonder if I should switch back to Linux but then I see shit like this which reminds me of the day to day experience.

I like that it doesn’t deboost links, that it doesn’t have a revenue sharing program, that likes are public, that there aren’t many spam bots, and that it’s open source.
