Great to have a social network just for Linux users. What catches my attention are the "trackers" of the page: facebook and, tolerable... google.
Greetings, Ant. And thank you for your comment and contribution. I guess, I almost swore it must interact with Google stuff. The Facebook thing could not tell you, maybe it is, that they post things linked to Facebook such as videos, images or links to groups and communities, and traffic is shown there.
The Social network is interesting, the only thing is that it is not very active, something that makes the community a bit lazy, excellent post, greetings from Colombia.
Greetings, John. Thanks for your comment. Surely, for now they are a small community of a few hundred members, and as they grow, the activity between them will be more noticeable.
excellent!
But there is something that makes noise to me… To register ask for gender, and that caught my attention because at least here in Argentina with the progress that has been made in identity rights, gender self-perception or things like that (I am not a regular militant of the subject , although I am capable of pronouncing myself in favor), even having to choose only between a man or a woman gives a cramp to the skilful eye. But nothing, I did not know about this project, I am already registering as a man even if I want to put another gender with which I identify more.
Hold on to this blog, long live gnu/linux, and let's go for inclusion and all freedoms in software freedoms.
Regards, Lcio. Thank you for your comment and contribution, we certainly hope that this network can be expanded and improved in that regard as well.
