#opensource chat server Rocket Chat decided to make their latest upgrade plain abusive. If you run your own, you are now required to enrole in a trial of their premium proprietary nonsense and it's likely the server is spying on it's admins and users.
great
Looks like #inkscape is going to have to move chat systems. There's just no way to regain trust in an upstream that is abusive. Not without forking away from the abusers.
@doctormo I never liked Rocket Chat exactly because it felt like something like this would happen. I'm glad my feelings got confirmed, sorry for the inconvenience on your side, though. 😩
@josh@doctormo I felt really missing out, seeing as how Inkscape room with late IRC bridge got deserted. There are just times when chatting is the only thing that preemptively solves any obscure errors, it heals. Rocket Chat does not heal. 💔
@lps@doctormo Matrix is literally a non-profit Foundation that exists to ensure the project prevails for the whole industry (as per matrix.org/about), no matter what individual commercial vendors do. This is like saying "I would be suspicious of the Web in the future too", just because you don't like Chrome.
