Like I said, I’ve never ran into this, and I’ve been using it for about 20 years. Politics never comes up, because I’m almost never chatting with other users.
I’ve been using slsk for about 20 years, and I’ve never gotten a warning about it. If I start torrenting, I’ll get a warning from my ISP tomorrow. I think that it’s considered too obscure to be worth monitoring.
constantly telling others they should “Just Use Linux” is no different than a stereotypical vegan trying to get everyone to go vegan or a craft beer snob using it as their only personality trait
Okay, wow. So what you’re saying is actually much worse than what I originally thought. You believe that saying “Torturing animals is wrong” is the same as saying “Craft beer is better than mass-produced beer”.
