They're either brainwashed, or being paid by Amazon.

I fully support, including financially, this project. But I worry that it will become what Mastodon has become which is (IMO) a complicated, shrinking, Twitter alternative with HOA…

Yes, but are you also a thought leader?

Yeah a grip on a new CMS

1EB with only 30k users, thats a wild TB-per-user ratio. My frame of reference; the largest storage platform I've ever worked on was a combined ~60PB (give or take) and that had hu…
