      Not necessarily, no. There are a plethora of non-profit services and pages on the net.

      What platform do you think you used to write that commeent?

      Regarding platforms of for-profit companies, you are more right than wrong though.

        Oh I was referring to for profit. Should have specified. I’m used to using that when meta screws over their users.

        Lately it’s been companies using liberal licenses to build their product up really fast and then doing a rig pull bcz “oh no we can’t have competition!”.

        But it’s also from the user perspective… Freedom to not pay a lonely dev that’s been coding on the project for “fun” or “for the community” for 15 years.

        I love free software, but if y:all want it to succeed you need to support the devs!
