Well spotted!

For one, I am ready to support developers. But this model of software development isn't going to work out. Doesn't matter to me if they figure out how to get paid, but this is 100% the foundation of an enshittification model. And being that it's software based around organizing communities... one thing people need to learn is that people move, communities do not. It's not worth the risk.

Also you can download commet today and the alternative is promises.

The screen sharing for games is not bad, it depends what you're used to. I've had some Discord headaches before 2022, but game sharing was always the main thing they had even when almost nothing else worked that well.

Also depends on your connection. The shittification throttling on non Nitro accounts tends to screw me over at home.

The thing about built-in enshittification up front is that there is no guarantee that it doesn't get worse from there.

So there's not even a dev team for this open source project, and there's already a salary? How does that work for open contributions? Do contributors get paid or are we paying to lock the project into a single developer project?

This is a really bad place to start from. Even Discord was less commercial at launch.
