Personally I find this far more worrisome signal of the health of foss ecosystem than the quibbles between elastic and amazon.
To me the idea of software "by hackers for hackers" and scratching your own itch has always been one of the key attractions in FOSS ecosystem, but somehow now our itches seem to have outgrown our ability to scratch then. Doing almost anything yourself feels impractical these days.
This is also why I like sourcehut, it represents to me sort of downshifting movement in the world that seems to be so very overspeeding. But I do feel that sr.ht does need certain almost monkish attitude to be satisfied with the austere facilities.
