A LibreOffice developer has shared his experience of having his Microsoft account banned, and how the company has been uncooperative in helping him recover it.

    Means they’re aware of libre office and they’re scared, so that’s positive. I’m guessing the European countries switching over is making them nervous.

    Kind of shocked that he was using big tech instead of self hosting or using the fediverse, or a nextcloud instance and smaller email providers or something.

    This has happened before and it will happen again, wondering why open source developers of all people don’t realise this.

      I assume they have MS dev accounts to help with stuff like building compatibility with microdick file formats.
