    Fluxer has been in development for a while, it just only recently went public. Everything has to go public at some point. Judging something just because of that feels ignorant and kinda stupid

    Also literally every thing ever in the history of business. Has had initial investors of some descriptions. Again this feels insanely stupid to judge something because it’s trying to gather seed money.

    300k wasn’t even a lot of money. For what fluxer is trying to do it’s going to need millions and a steady inflow of cash.

    If anything the fact they didn’t try to get more money is a red flag.

      No, the red flag is being ‘self-hostable’, but trying to concentrate all your users in a central, non-federated, monetised instance.

      Also, we cannot verify how long they where in development because they squashed their git commits. There’s usually no good reason to do that.
