+(Originally published as a comment_ on pump.io)
+
+The problem is when we want to be like them. "Give me the
+free-as-beer Windows" attitude towards Linux (intentionally not
+using GNU/Linux, but that's another discussion) is repeated here
+with "Give me the Facebook/Twitter which doesn't bother me with
+spam". There is no such thing. Yes, certainly there is that we
+have to accept the limitations of our platform (no latest kewl
+games on Linux, no participants on pump.io/gnu social/diaspora),
+but there is a way deeper issue.
+
+The only defense against "Give me the free-as-beer Windows" (or
+the first question being "How to run Wine on this?") is IMHO in
+not caring about what other people do. I didn't care when I
+started to use Linux and I don't care still whether Linux takes
+over the world, or whether I am able to get laid because of using
+Linux. I do care, whether while using Linux I can do things which
+I want to do with computer, and whether there is sufficient
+community which will maintain for me the platform in future.
+
+Some platforms which I hoped for and invested in, `did not
+manage`_ to get over even that first step, but it seems that
+CyanogenMod with F-Droid (and without Google Play store) seems to
+work pretty well (with one or two sideloaded APKs). And yes,
+another concession is that the only Chat where are actually
+people I want to talk with is Facebook Chat. Fortunately, here at
+least I can be (on my side) FLOSS-pure … pidgin talking over
+XMPP with spectrum_ makes miracles.
