The title of the post seems very editorialised.
First of all, being non-Facebook is hardly meaningful when we talk about open source tools. Secondly, the project doesn't advertise itself as being non-Facebook, the poster has added this. And lastly, it's false - from the prerequisites in the readme:
> Some of the models depend on prophet and torch
Submitters: the site guidelines ask you to rewrite titles only to make them less baity. Less is not more! Not in this context at least.
"Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."
Edit: it's important to note that this is an alternative to Facebook Kats, I should've probably added this in the title and that's my bad
I think we should distinguish between science/open-source and policies when we mention open-source projects.

If you want to avoid Facebook with this library you can. That may not be the case with every library so folks who care about such things appreciate the callout. If you don’t care you don’t have to.
What’s the problem?
That’s just a buffet. When you use a qualifier like non/vegetarian, then the assumption is that the buffet would comprise of that.
As an apropos there’s a bomb vegan Korean buffet in Dallas.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you don't visit many restaurants that advertise vegetarian buffets
TIL about Kats. My assumption was that this was a reference to Prophet, which has not been treated favorably lately on HN.
