Just a heads up to anyone interested in Fluxer: I was just informed today of a huge red flag for Fluxer; it has a contributor CLA that could allow it to change to a non-FLOSS license in the future. I was hopeful for it previously, but that kills it for me.

Well spotted!
For one, I am ready to support developers. But this model of software development isn’t going to work out. Doesn’t matter to me if they figure out how to get paid, but this is 100% the foundation of an enshittification model. And being that it’s software based around organizing communities… one thing people need to learn is that people move, communities do not. It’s not worth the risk.

An unexpected but welcome update, the Fluxer dev agreed to remove the CLA!, which puts it back in the running.
