While that’s true, I’m often torn when it gets to removing comments, posts or even people. I’m a free speech advocate. That doesn’t mean that I think offending someone is free speach or being a bigot, racist, *-phobe, etc. is free speech. But I grew up in Germany and one of my parents is Japanese. Both countries had their fair share of… let’s say “issues with free speech” in history. That’s why I usually stick with the stance that a community will mostly moderate itself through downvotes and reports.

With FOSS for Android or FOSS in general, we face the issue that sometimes, there are no viable alternatives for people in the FOSS space, so they’ll have to turn to closed source alternatives. That’s why I usually let the comments up. But this thread was all closed source recommendations, so I removed them. I did so reluctantly, because I honor that people take their time to comment. They probably just didn’t look at the community they were posting in.

Sorry for the long comment, I usually tend to explain myself thoroughly.
