*taps the sign*
Choosing to host a community on a "free" proprietary platform offered by a for-profit is choosing short term ease and long term pain, and often comes at the expense of privacy. These tools _will_ get shitty and extractive. And what then?
Community migrations are painful and lossy.
We must select tools for our community while considering a time horizon longer than the economic boom/bust cycle.
