### How does LRS differ from [suckless](suckless.md), [KISS](kiss.md) and similar types of software?
|
|
|
|
These sets largely overlap and LRS is often just a slightly different angle of looking at the same things. However LRS does have its specific ideas and areas of focus such as its stress on public domain and legal safety, altruism, anti-capitalism, embracing entertainment software such as games, NOT joining the [productivity cult](productivity_cult.md) etc.

### Why not keep politics out of this Wiki and make it just about tech?
|
|
|
|
Politics ultimately significantly affects what technology looks like ([capitalist SW](capitalist_software.md), [bloat](bloat.md), ...), what goals it serves and how it is developed ([COCs](cos.md), [free software](free_software.md), ...), so diving deeper into the topic requires also diving into politics. I hate arguing about politics, trust me, but it is inevitable to define real-life goals clearly if we're to create good technology as these goals guide us in making important design decisions about features, [tradeoffs](tradeoff.md) and other attributes.

We're not fascists, we're in fact the exact opposite: our aim is to create technology that benefits everyone equally without any discrimination. I (drummyfish) am personally a pacifist anarchist, I love all living being and believe in absolute social equality of all life forms. We invite and welcome everyone here, be it gays, communists, rightists, trannies, pedophiles or murderers, we love everyone equally, even you and Hitler.

What we do NOT engage in is political correctness, censorship, offended culture, identity politics and pseudoleftism. We do NOT support fascist groups such as feminists and LGBT and we will NOT practice bullying and [codes of conducts](coc.md). We do not pretend there aren't any differences between people and we will make jokes that make you feel offended.
