Reimplementing the server in a snappier language in order to accommodate for larger deployments: great!
Making said reimplementation proprietary, in order to prevent corporations from using your service without paying you a fee: questionable

Scaling to millions of users requires Synapse Pro
@mika @SnorriSturluson @hassmeister und ich, wir kennen uns aus der #Matrix aus dem Raum https://matrix.to/#/#german:matrix.org vielleicht sind ja auch noch mehr hier

Seriously? Why is this not free and open source?
Users of nation-scale services don't deserve to use free and open source software?
How can them trust those services?
I can understand that they can charge for support helping companies or public agencies who want to deploy large instances, but it hurts to hide the software in a proprietary jail.
@GrapheneOS lol #Matrix
the totally awesome FOSS-as-in-freedom chat solution that's always 2 years away from working properly
Nation-scale Matrix deployments will fail if built on the community version of Synapse. Huge deployments need a different architecture, which is what Synapse Pro delivers.
Just spun up a #matrix server running on #nixos!
Stay tuned for a blog post...
@fionafokus The involvement of VC was always one of the (many) reasons the #XMPP user community has been wary of #Matrix.
XMPP is still around, improving all the time, and backed by communities and non-VC-funded companies.
#ejabberd is freedom-respecting software and scalable enough WhatsApp, League of Legends, and for Nintendo Switch Push Notifications - dare I say even "nation-scale".
@karlpybara
Discord is one of them. I use #matrix instead. If you have to communicate with discord servers, you can do so from matrix using a bridge.

There are more pills we could take:

How would I encapsulate on an index that something is a matrix server and how to connect to that matrix server?

Did anyone already fork latest Apache licensed Dendrite into a viable project to not have 2/3 usable homeservers AGPL licensed by an entity that wants them to be lacking? #matrix #synapse #dendrite
