Mexican here, I’ve seen it multiple times, the current party in power in my country is everything Lemmy criticises of the Republicans, the CCP and Putin (hell, the expresident bowed down to Trump, Putin and Maduro) but since they claim to be the left and the current puppet of the cult leader president is a woman, most of Lemmy rushes to their defense every time someone criticises them because muh left.

I agree but we lack alternatives.
Gimp isn’t there yet (we’ll see after the next big update), Davinci lacks resources (like video copilot for after effects to do something quickly instead of manually doing everything) and it’s pretty expensive if you need something from the paywall, Natron isn’t user friendly, Krita is great for drawing but not so much as a photo editor (most of the tutorials assume you are drawing something), Blender… I couldn’t really get it, felt too much for the small things I do for fun.

Also adobe products are easy to pick and use, even for piracy is very easy to find them, a cracked Davinci… Not so much.
