    Lots of us use it

    That’s just simply not true. We both know that. And I am not upset with FreeCAD, I just find it utterly useless. I was surprised, however, that FreeCAD had a community before SW because that was one of the first things I searched on Lemmy to see if there was a community since the one on Reddit was quite well trafficked.

      If you really can’t see the point that there’s a large number of hobbyists who have zero interest in paying the licensing fees for SW, or that the fediverse community as a whole tends to heavily prefer FOSS, I’m not sure what to tell you.

      Lemmy is developed, run and largely used by open source enthusiasts; FreeCAD is too. Thus I dont find it particularly surprising that open source communities (such as FreeCAD’s) were quick to open a Lemmy community.
