@wjmaggos @coldacid Agreed. The most effective and useful way to protest a move like this is to fork, publish, and maintain an alternate version of the app called "Uncensored Tusky". Merge every bug fix and feature they develop, but exclude all of the virtue-signalling SJW crap.

The best part is that under the GPL, they can't do anything to stop you.

@SirBemrose @wjmaggos@social.culturewar.us @coldacid I suspect their response to hard forking would be relicensing under a non-free source available license that prohibited removing the domain blocklist.

@blargblarg @SirBemrose @wjmaggos if it depends on any GPL'd libraries, they wouldn't legally be able to use those any more in that case. Re-licensing can be a great way to shoot oneself in the foot, and you better believe that we'd would make sure that all kinds of legal problems would come their way if they tried it without being 120% sure of dependency licensing being okay with their license change.

Besides, you can't retroactively change the license, so anything already out is as-is.
