@danirabbit@mastodon.online yep, open source dark patterns are still open source.
businesses jettison FLOSS and libre ideals because they harm profit and control, but became amenable to open source because that allowed them to benefit from free labor.
small communities and even individual people sometimes adopt open source too, for the wrong reasons - the clout, the appearance of freedom, the free labor businesses benefit from, the diffusion of responsibility.
