1. It is a For-profit without any means of Generating income (unlike Truenas or Suse which have a paid enterprise version)
  2. Since there is no way of making money, it is apparent they will pull a Plex and Enshittify once they have the noobs on board
  3. At least it uses docker, so you can export the images, but who knows when this will change
  4. It uses discord as forum. They cant even get themselves to use their own OS to install a matrix server on there.
  5. They are not even Private. Their FAQ literally says „They will try to limit data collection“

You want to use some shitty OS by some shitty company? Go sign your soul to Windows Server you lobotomite

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

    Your first point makes zero sense: it can’t be both “for profit” and have “no means of generating income”.

    Are you for real? The entire concept of Enshittification hinges on the real fact that most internet services start out with a net negative “profit” and are kept alive through large injections of VC capital. This allows them to offer the service for free or close to free to gain a massive user base, which they then leverage for profit later on through measures that make the service worse for consumers. The entire reason Mastodon, Lemmy, and the federated social network exist is because of this contradiction.

      Yep, crack economics. Give product out for free until they’re dependent, then exploit them.
