In This specific example, the issue was purely with the community and sole moderator.

The moderation not so much the content was what was wrong with it.

Linux needs criticism and you hear the voices of the less tech savvy if it wants to grow its user base and gain wider adoption, similar to lemmy. But if that discussion is a bad faith, "Linux is bad and you can't change my mind" posts, with enforcement via moderation, then it's not useful to anyone really.

I've been don't this as an American for years.

Why doesn't the US test baby car seats for side impacts but the EU does?

Why does the US allow Teflon pans but the EU doesn't?

Why does the the US not federally regulate internet privacy in meaningful ways but the EU has GDPR?

The answer for all these is that the EU keeps its citizens safe while the US keeps its billionaires safe.

You can totally just install the latest release straight from the git repository. However, how often will you remember to check if there is a new release? If you want your apps to stay up-to-date you have 2 options. (Ordered from least effort to most effort)

  1. F-Droid (minimal setup, slower releases)
  • Install F-Droid or one of the many 3rd party clients (I like Droid-ify the most right now)
  • enable the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repoin the Repository settings of the F-Droid client
  • install FreeTube Android
  1. Obtainium (moderate setup, quickest releases)
  • Install the latest release of Obtainium directly from the git repo
  • go to app configurations search for Obtainium and click on the add to Obtainium button so that Obtainium can update itself when there is a new release.
  • In Obtainium, click on Add App. Then insert the release page URL for FreeTube Android (https://github.com/MarmadileManteater/FreeTubeAndroid/releases) as the value for App Source URL, then click the Add button next to it and you are set.

He is holding a literal sink.

We aren't talking about rasing a kid in a literal village within a Neoliberal society. "It takes a village" is an idiom about how the entire community should help to properly raise a child.

The saying emphasizes that a child’s upbringing is a communal effort involving many different people and groups, from parents to teachers to neighbors and grandparents.

The whole idea underscores the belief that the collective involvement of a community is essential in achieving a certain goal or completing a task, like raising a kid.

Essentially, it’s a friendly reminder that asking for help with hard things is okay because many hands make light work.
