I just don&#39;t think it&#39;s the *only* way forward. And it&#39;s far from easy to sustain. You still need to fundraise money for the foundation to maintain the software etc. I think there is potentially a better way. I may be wrong. 2026-02-17T19:43:29Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9ltd4syzju50nvxsc7nwqt9ry59zavxcgm6j4d0gpvq4qnvvkldszyzut7ztpm9x8x8purpv5kemf5yuu4j8q8urejh67hv49na8dzyhd7w3stv8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrv8ekg4uknk2j6l64durz08tkkx9kvv89dl703pau8d6j7zr5sag7wqsww'>nevent1q…qsww</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m very happy to agree to disagree on the opinions.<br/><br/>Though about what I said on the definition of what Free Software actually means, it&#39;s not an opinion but a fact.<br/><br/>But I respect that you think software should only be public good and receive exclusively donations of good will, if I understand well?<br/><br/>We can agree to disagree respectfully! 2026-02-17T19:34:27Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsww72rkf4mxfdp98kv5dkfrn6qvt5mn3a7y0vnl4dmdtrh20nq00czyzut7ztpm9x8x8purpv5kemf5yuu4j8q8urejh67hv49na8dzyhd7xa724q In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrmmg4lz9rvpz5xq0du6vz94ggsr6na22qfg5hu4epx7gtqckugjc86kg7g'>nevent1q…kg7g</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>my friend you have a problem with the definition of open source and free software. It has NEVER meant anything regarding monetization AT ALL. This is a complete misunderstanding. Free software != Free as in free beer. It&#39;s neutral to monetization. How do you think Nextcloud makes money if not by monetizing their FOSS?<br/><br/>I wrote this a long time ago. Good refresher, still relevant: <a href="https://github.com/baozi-technology/baozi-web/blob/master/content%2F09-11-2019%2Findex.md">https://github.com/baozi-technology/baozi-web/blob/master/content%2F09-11-2019%2Findex.md</a> 2026-02-17T19:24:41Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxf87a67htfn5jd72n9luye6zar3d8xrf0fjgmf2g8qex8uh47peszyzut7ztpm9x8x8purpv5kemf5yuu4j8q8urejh67hv49na8dzyhd7q5a2q6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstqpdj9u4e29fkh9cygweuh6pnwh5thmga50sh6y46lmtmhjpu9xgs0q5m2'>nevent1q…q5m2</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>maybe I did! For &#34;anarchist&#34; I get it. For anti capitalist that doesn&#39;t make sense to me. Nothing prevents anybody at the protocol level from monetizing access to their API or other aspect of their server. No matter federated or not. 2026-02-17T19:14:57Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsw3axpplnx7dsuq3j9s5j52p8yqclnkxamghp6knmp8dxqlje8ueszyzut7ztpm9x8x8purpv5kemf5yuu4j8q8urejh67hv49na8dzyhd7qq6cl8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgq4g6j6jng4c9ua26a2hqhk4fp3xclxzf2k56lv5xhcyn84z4ndcxwry93'>nevent1q…ry93</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Dear Matt, you&#39;re misunderstanding my initial tweet. I was not referring to Palestinians. Read the comments in this thread to understand the context. 2026-02-17T19:06:55Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsz6xn563ttwgnfz03umf8vs4mv2qyanxq79gdm02qk0rmwnkd89fszyzut7ztpm9x8x8purpv5kemf5yuu4j8q8urejh67hv49na8dzyhd7vpjde5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9ha2a8h89cyl4fha6dvwn4tnvsqs3shykxkp6fzl766fagc6atvq5ke926'>nevent1q…e926</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>that&#39;s a fair point and I do respect the Palestine argument. I didn&#39;t even know this information until OP pointed it out. I fully respect this take and I do not consider this extremist, and even if I did well we can discuss it normally.<br/><br/>My problem is my initial tweet was reacting to the anarchist/anti capitalist/anti VC ethos which is way more objectively, an extremist PoV (which is fine. Just not my cup of tea) 2026-02-17T17:55:17Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxjev5mpmhqkrdvpugnje0yuzkxzglpg64xrrpua9hznv98yx395szyzut7ztpm9x8x8purpv5kemf5yuu4j8q8urejh67hv49na8dzyhd7a6ttlq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9an3w2eezrwcxpa28w060a402lzjpcq9953l42z09yxmre0sv3agau5jqp'>nevent1q…5jqp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>this is defamation. I was talking about anarchism and anti-capitalism. Not Palestine. Being extremist can be good, it&#39;s just being on the extreme of the political spectrum. But the spectrum can move too. It is not an insult. You guys are mobs, it&#39;s insane. Where is civility here? It&#39;s supposed to be part of the moderation rules btw. 2026-02-17T17:40:36Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9lf9z9vrz7hac460us2gn65vtcc395ra6f2xqcgt68wq2xllll4gzyzut7ztpm9x8x8purpv5kemf5yuu4j8q8urejh67hv49na8dzyhd785shf2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfadf63z07jdwh90xhe2mvrgv7xrzyp8ndl4eep8kwn2yescq7eysp7ku9p'>nevent1q…ku9p</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I never called YOU an extremist. I called the ideology you mentioned &#34;anarchism, anti capitalism&#34; extremist. It is objectively extremist since it&#39;s far left. OWN IT. Your problem is taking it as an insult. It is not an insult for me. As we discussed on Bluesky it is simply not my cup of tea. And what I dislike the most in these ideologies is precisely what you showcased here: mob mentality. 2026-02-17T17:34:53Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstkzjqhqsm47s3fl4lzst2vfzwmk6lj83vkfgfdldwvwf8vj2pc3szyzut7ztpm9x8x8purpv5kemf5yuu4j8q8urejh67hv49na8dzyhd7y45f73 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgxzflujdud3rd4002pa4967p5m7uf94sc8z62rmtzp5zp25xkkus55ql8w'>nevent1q…ql8w</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>you&#39;re taking this WAY too personally, while we don&#39;t even know each other. I am very much entitled to my own opinion, btw, cofounder of Agora or not. I am not an anticapitalist anarchist, fine, so what? What the heck is this ad hominem attack? The whole point of Agora is to get people to talk to each other, people who usually don&#39;t appreciate each other, without trolling, and finding common ground. Your very reaction shows exactly why I build it. 2026-02-17T17:21:33Z
