    https://freeradical.zone/@thenewoil/108539077382008407 Microsoft bans in #Minecraft will soon carry over to privately run servers as well.

    One commenter said "Seems like there is a really simple solution here: Don't be a toxic asshole on a public server." But once $CORPORATION starts interfering with privately hosted servers in any way, those servers' independence and existence is permanently threatened.

    It's as bad as it sounds. -- @sullybiker https://sully.site/@sullybiker/108544530478111464

      @thenewoil@freeradical.zone I read the headline and thought "This cannot be as bad as it sounds." It's as bad as it sounds.

      I've never played #Minecraft - Is this #Federated software? Is it #FreeSoftware? If so, how can Microsoft control what's happening on someone's private server? Even if such code existed in a #FreeSoftware application, I would have thought there'd be a fork that eliminates that external control. It's time for that now.

      But if #Minecraft isn't #FreeSoftware aka Free/Libre Open Source Software, then I really have no sympathies for people running or using it...

      @bobjonkman As far as I am aware, #Minecraft is not FOSS. It was created by someone called Notch and developed by a company called #Mojang. It required a Mojang account, even on privately host servers.

      Mojang was purchased by #Microsoft, and their accounts were replaced with Microsoft accounts.
