As lemmy is a Foss and privacy respecting platform built on that ethics and morals it is only right the clients following those morals should be the most promoted and used. In the past you may have needed proprietry apps or tools but the need is no more as more foss apps and tools that can cater to everyones taste for all platforms are available now ( see the megathread ) there is no need to use proprietry apps which are privacy nightmares and tracks, pushes ads. etc and also if a proprietry app dev decides to collect data there is no wayto know or if they close development the app is gone but with foss someone will fork it . In the past this sub has allowed posts about proprietry apps and tools those posts will stay as it is and you can interact with it but posting any new one will lead to warning and then ban this decision was made as a community by conducting a poll.
