Yeah it’s got something to do with that & development being split between Dendrite and Synapse. I don’t even really care to know since having to dig up the flaws with it then getting argued with by proponents who don’t like to talk about them makes me annoyed. Many Rust developers have a whole cyberpunk ideology that results in their justifications being peppered with political stuff that sounds straight out of Arab Spring-stan anarchist twitter circa 2016. It’s 2025 and those guys have successfully turned Syria into ISIS land. Yet they won’t stop crying - but, I digress! I do not trust any nonprofit dependent on the world’s largest concentrations of finance capital.

Hm fair enough, would you say it applies to the situation between Google and Firefox? Because at this point it’s clear donors are a bigger factor than any software community. I made the comparison since the improvements of Rust and the potential it has for Linux and technologies intended to replace XMPP seem to have been politicized, giving NGOs control of projects in a way that could be misused further down the line. They’ll have a legitimate justification for it since they keep the projects alive.
