Well, it is controlled by a non-profit organization already funded by something else.
There are no profits created by this network, so even if it does not work well, we will not lose money.
About the organization itself, it has others activities maintaining it alive.
As the President of Blackfields Network, the parent organization of DomIRC, I swear we will maintain this network as long as we exist.
- xj9 10y agoThat's the problem with federated systems: we (users) have to rely on the promises and whims of our system operators to have access. I don't trust or distrust you, I wish I didn't have to decide.
- Xenthys 10y agoYeah, I have experienced that as well and I get your point, that's mainly why we have created a whole structure and registered an organization, even if we can never predict what will happen next we can always do our best to get the odds in our favour. Unfortunately, the best alternative would probably be the P2P way, with something like https://matrix.org/ https://matrix.org/ which also seems to be nice.
