My perspective is of a FOSS developer with multiple communities of thousands. If you can't grasp it, that's on you. It's also why purity moralizing isn't useful. I have only so much mental bandwidth to spend on organizing and self-hosting. If people are not stepping up to do the community management and infrastructure work, I will go with the past of least resistance.

oh ok, thanks for the clarification.

That's basically it in a nut shell, path of least resistance. Doesn't refute any claims made in the article or arguments presented here. Just a shame another company has a stranglehold on a whole category of services that have to be used to participate in society ... while developing FOSS.

Nothing to refute. I never said otherwise. Discord is just more convenient for people already overworked.

Yes, it is a shame. I hope you're doing something practical about it instead of moralizing towards FOSS devs.
