Software Freedom ConservancyWe Call on FOSS Contributors to “Exit Zoom”Software Freedom Conservancy stands with concerned users and consumers; we too face difficult choices with respect to software rights and freedom. As part
of our ongoing advocacy work, we educate and help people to choose more Free and Open Source Software (“FOSS”), and we aid developers to create and improve
FOSS options for the general public. We also strive to “meet people where they are.”
@conservancy I've got family, friends, colleagues, clients drop Jitsi and BigBlueButton because they were too unreliable. Even people who are connected with the F/LOSS movement. For BBB, there's no native Android client for example! https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/issues/15908
Also initiatives like https://www.meet.coop/ tried to be sustainable and failed. Are we willing to put our money where our mouth is?
Calling to "exit zoom" without acknowledging usability, reliability, and sustainability issues is bad.

@astrojuanlu @conservancy how did meet.coop fail?
@astrojuanlu @conservancy thanks for sharing, that's pretty informative. Lack of proper marketing and poor operations will kill any business.
