He refuses to be anti-capitalist. Even though that's the only logical conclusion he can't say that capitalism is the problem because he "can't be political". Instead, he says they have a poor business model and rely on donations. The real problem is requireing a business model. He can't question the fact of having a business model and making money in the first place because you need that to survive under capitalism and that is an accepted as a "default axiom". That's "the trashcan of ideology".
It's the same for matrix and signal. They're both conpanies, but people say "that's ok" or "there's no problem". But they don't realize that is the problem.
I didn't like matrix because of the company behind it and crypto connections. I was battered before and slowly started to accept it. Thankfully, I see more people who share my view and I'll continue continue to try to push for XMPP.
see my question about Jami and other Matrix hosts...
