That word comes from politics, right? I don't remember it being used to describe web sites, gopher sites, Usenet, BBS, or other stuff in the 90's.

Are you sure about that? I'd personally love to see Mozilla go down in legal hellfire for being party to communist shit.
Exactly
Yes what I see as a waist of resources in free software communities is when you go away from your initial objectives. What did mozilla was simply a waist of resource like they often do. Same thing goes with gnome and the Outreachy program it's a waist of resources put into virtue signaling for diversity instead of simply looking for people who are motivated.
Yes it's not a good thing because even tho mozilla is a piece of crap it's still free/libre software, it's the only free/libre browser that is normie acceptable. We are between a rock and a hard place at the moment. Mozilla needs to get more share of user market but if they need to do so the have to be compatible with what the W3C imposes since it's going to be implemented in other browsers too. Aka eme for netflix and other crap. Mozilla is desperately trying to get more usage while google chrome was installed on computers in the ways of a malware.
What do you do when you are desperate ? imo you do like RMS and don't compromise otherwise you finish like mozilla who became a clustefuck of ideology who can not make the difference between a ten+ year old ceo's personal opinion and a public statement.
That's a bad thing in my eyes.
It means normies get introduced to libre software and see shit that is literally worse than non-libre software on all fronts.
