How ironic that this statement of inclusivity is preceded with this one: >We're sorry but funkwhale.audio doesn't work properly without JavaScript enabled. Please enable it to continue.
JavaScript is a choice. Inclusivity generally refers to things which are not a choice.

Okay, let me rephrase: When a project puts `curl | sudo bash` front and center as their primary method of installing that software, that's a planet-sized red flag. Not just because piping to bash is a terrible idea, but because it's an awful and silly way to install software, and it makes me suspicious of the way the rest of the project is being made. First impressions matter. curl>bash is a bad first impression.
`curl | sudo bash` is for the non-technical people who may have just sshed into a server for the first time. If you don't put it front and center, they will be lost. The experienced sysadmins such as you and I can skip the paragraph and find an alternative we like.
Honest question, how is this legal? It looks as if there is the ability to share your music online. Can someone explain the difference between this and say Napster, Limewire, Kaza, etc? Rather than storing it locally, it’s just online... or am I missing something here?
How do musicians get paid on this platform?

They get paid from whatever service you bought your music from - be it from CDs, MP3 sites like Amazon or Google Play (RIP), etc. Scary thought, being able to purchase music these days rather than a streaming service lease, I know...

Non technical people are not going to run terminal commands to install software.
wonder how long will this get taken down like popcorn time?

It's open source. Is there such a difference between "third-party" and "application developers who focus more on developing a web application than packaging it?"
