Sounds like you need to explain the difference between a serious tool and a serious looking tool. They can frump about it being weird but it is the foss option.

Too many people here pretend to be more respectful and empathetic than average, but will happily dogpile to get a piece of a person given the right momentum.

“People here pretend to be nice, but get angry when I try to secretly push them out of the conversation”

Shut up, idiot.
