    Just in: Orange farmers are part of the police state because they sell oranges to the government, including policemen.

      there’s a subtle difference, but if i’m following your logic, then weapons manufacturers have no moral/ethical responsibility for enabling war to happen? if you made a knife—harmless on its own, and then gave the knife to a murderer who then killed someone with it, are you not enabling?

        Is Ford a part of the police state because they sell cars to them?

    I just want to make sure you notice it says “encrypted messaging” meaning matrix as a service, as opposed to “encrypted messages”, meaning selling your messages.

    Uhh this is a reach. By this logic so is Signal. And RedHat. Hell, even Mastodon.

      sure, it’s nuanced, but imho there’s a difference between actively helping and propping up vs providing free software. when you have active contracts with entities that discriminate, it becomes a different ethical stance than simply building FOSS.

        Thats fair, but simly using FOSS software doesn’t support the cause of the developers/creators. I mean, look at Lemmy.
