It's great to see FOSS going mainstream (self.opensource)

It's hard to see examples of FOSS being used widely between people. This could be the 2nd time after Mastodon that a FOSS project receives massive attention.

I can't recall other software that the public might have used without knowing it's open source. The ones I can get off the top of my head may be Firefox or Inkscape.
