You're right, it's absolutely ridiculous. While there are things worthy of criticism (e.g., the protocol based on HTTP polling isn't exactly realtime, decryption errors are mostly just a UI bug in Element, Element in general having many UI bugs, etc) these aren't even close to worth the outright hate Matrix gets here. HN is usually a hypefest for any new technology, but as soon as the topic turns to Matrix the threads immediately become a Mad Max-style wasteland. It makes no sense whatsoever. Especially this thread – a move to AGPL with a dual-licensed option for corporate customers is absolutely fine, Stallman and the FSF support it, and it's the most sustainable way to run a truly free software project. The only reason I can think of why HN would be so hateful towards a license change is that many people here actually used Matrix to build proprietary products and don't want to contribute to upstream (be it with code or money).
