Comment on Matrix.org is Introducing Premium Accounts

The context in the article is important. Similar to what FUTO preaches-- people don’t donate. That’s why corporate solutions usually win. Better to charge a bit of money so we can have nice things.

  People deserve to get paid on their work, and currently the best way to do that and survive in America is to work on completely closest source products that don’t respect their users. Open source is probably the most respectful but doesn’t work well as a business. We need something that works reliably for delivering real products that will achieve mass adoption. I think these source available licenses are that.

    You know what else source-available licences do ?
    
    Put restrictions like you cannot make money from the forks. Forks are the lifeblood of FOSS.

I used to have $5 on Patreon… but it seemed dead. I wrote a message asking what’s up, but no response.

The whole org is a shitshow from what little pieces of info I have, still waiting for Dendride, hoping the front-ends will stabilize.

I’ve been using Matrix selfhosted as my primary communication tool since 2017, not connecting it to matrix.org (tried once, deleted instance afterwards), and I love it, but the org… meh.
