Actually, to be clear, I don't think FOSS purity is bad. I just mean that denigrating what others are doing because they're using something non-free while they're making steps in the right direction is dumb and counterproductive.

To my mind, FOSS is the only way forward for a healthy, functioning society, and the fact that so much of our digital landscape is being gradually replaced with it is to me evidence of that. I think the end goal should always be pure FOSS, but that doesn't (necessarily) mean immediately jumping to all FOSS; it just means taking steps to cut out proprietary software wherever you reasonably can.
