PS. With all the Discord stuff, in case you wonder why you never see me promoting Matrix, it’s not because it’s a usability nightmare (which it is) but because it’s made by the kind of people who’d be happy to call ICE a customer.

The “F” in FOSS doesn’t stand for fascism.

@aral This is not the case. See https://element.io/en/legal/ethics for the public ethics policy of who we sell to.

@aral Note how @element is not saying what ”is not the case”, while linking to a page clearly and explicitly stating that they’re selling to ”police”.

@ahltorp @element Oh it’s ok, they only sell to white fascists apparently.

Don’t you think you’ve gone a bit too far with your chain of extrapolated fallacies? You’ve build a whole chain of hype that goes from “we offer paid consulting to corporate clients including governments” through “we sell to ICE” up to “we only sell to white fascists”. Since Matrix is mostly used by edu in Germany and gov in France, how did you make this “white fascist” extrapolation, granted that plenty of government officials in Europe are black or of other non-white origin, e.g. minister Sarah El Haïry, Rima Abdul Malak or Fadila Khattabi in France?
