    Absolutely.

    This just means “We pushed our crap too fast and people noticed, so we’re letting things cool off slightly to quiet down the critics, and next time we’ll boil the frog more slowly.”

        Sadly, yes.

        What it comes down to is that any product or service with a profit incentive will inevitably betray you, no matter how good or how well-intentioned it started out.

        Our only saviour is open source, self hosting, and federation.

        It’s why ownership rather than rental is the model we should all individually be pursuing.
