I agree with everything you said. We really need more leftists contributing to the Linux and FOSS space and making media content. There’s too many fascists that have a lot of spotlight in the community. I also believe Flatpak can be a really good way to install user software to minimize maintenance issues of native system packages (as well as the benefit of sandboxing applications and restricting permissions), but I’m really disappointed that they are now considering age verification checks.

It does make me feel gross to make valid criticisms of these tools being exploited by capitalists, and it’s muddied by chuds who exclaim “muh freedums” and harass developers who don’t have infinite time to support every system.
