This almost sounds like a 5D chess move to promote using alternative instances instead of the main demo. I’m thinking of selfhosting one for my friends group.
Requiring an acc is understandable but making it Meta/MS and not even something like openID really kills the vibe.
Server providers threatening to terminate business with Mullvad because some of its users used port forwarding to host contents that meant legal trouble.
Mullvad chose to terminate support for port forwarding in a transparent way and gave clear dates to prepare. This was done instead of selling off their users or collaborating with whatever legal threats they were facing.
I don’t like it, but at least I understand their business decision. Even if I took my business elsewhere, they have a solid point on transparency.
I hear you bro. It’s maddening how I have to submit legal documents through fucking whatsapp of all places. I’d ask if I can email them instead, or even better, hand them personally to avoid all the techy bs. They’ll look at me like a caveman appeared from the mountains, and tell me “But you’re applying for an IT job! Don’t tell me you don’t use smartphones!”.
Sure, ma’am. Sucking zucc’s dick means being a developer, wow.
