We’re setting up our own Matrix/Element CE and mulling over the non-technical folks’ fumbling trying to figure it out.

Commet might be more helpful there than Element, as it tries to replicate Discord’s UI and UX, making for an easier transition.

So while today Fluxer is licensed as AGPLv3, tomorrow they can pull the rug and change the license, just like everyone else has been doing.

Isn’t that just a problem for contributors to worry about though?

Like, it’s not like they can remove (or change the license of) the code that’s already out there (their CLA says existing source code releases stay licensed as-is), nor does this affect forks. So I don’t really see the harm to the consumer.

any distributed version that includes your contribution remains properly licensed under the project license(s) that applied when you contributed.

I tried to get friends into Matrix before and they were confused by it. So can confirm it’s not that simple for everyone.

Though to be fair, one of them wasn’t able to post without including an emoji in their message, that shit confused me too.
