We have been communicating on the lack of funds in the Foundation for a while now, the latest being here. And whilst we’ve been working hard to gather new members and are happy to see the number of logos increasing (thank you all for seeing the need for Matrix to stay independent and safe, and the value in supporting it!), none of the big players in the ecosystem have actually committed to one of the higher membership tiers, so we need to find other ways towards sustainability.

Sounds like that business plan isn’t working out like you hoped…
A two bedroom, one bathroom house built in the 80s in San Francisco cost $1.1 million a couple years back. I don’t suppose cost of living in most big cities went down.
For comparison, Mitchell Baker, the former CEO of Mozilla, saw her yearly pay rise from $2.4 million in 2018 to 6.9 million in 2022. I think it’s perfectly adequate for the CEO of matrix to earn the salary of a moderately successful software engineer.
No, you’re trying to defend the profit’s of others without realizing how they’re taking advantage of your naivete.
Honestly, trying to explain things to useful idiots really is a fool’s errand. The best I can do is make it clear as day for anyone with a brain how much of a sucker the average internet user is now.
Goodbye. I’m going to ignore you. I’m tired of arguing with tools.

And/Or not enough users care to use your product.

$170k/year for 1 person is no joke.
This is just a grift to take advantage of morons.
Don’t be one of them.

That’s funny, because nothing about his job requires him to be there.
Unlike, you know, people outside of tech.
I have no clue where in the world he resides. I’m just trying and failing to clue you in on how the world works.

How could I ever cope without your words of wisdom.
The plan was to rely on donations, which doesn’t usually work for hosted products.
That’s not how non-profit foundations work.
😂
Still need users. And folks who like/want/use the product enough to care to donate.
If neither is happening, you’re business model is failing. Profit or nonprofit.
