While that's fair, My understanding is Element does fund matrix.org (They even state that in the article and it can be seen here: https://matrix.org/support/). So I would think that money they get from those services would help.

at the same time, they (Element) focus on bigger customers, where they can make bigger money and then fund the Foundation.

On the contrary, etke.cc focuses on small, independent Matrix servers that could work as a single-user server, and as a small company/community internal server, and even a public server. Our focus is to be sustainable and to provide a way to own your communications in a hassle-free (or, at least, less painful) way.

So, our goals are just different.

Hi Aine! I actually migrated to etke.cc when that happened, and have been really happy with your services.

I do get that the goals are different, and to be honest, I'm still not sure whether my post/annoyance is justified. EMS is within their rights to do what they want, and sure, single users/small instances like me may not be worth their time. I would just think that if they are still struggling to fund large public servers, I wouldn't turn own even smaller instances until I am financially solvent.
