🚨Nation-scale Matrix deployments will fail if built on the community version of Synapse.

The community version of Synapse is not designed or intended for use by commercial Matrix hosting providers to serve huge nation-scale deployments. Just as a suspension bridge has a weight limit and will collapse if you exceed it - the same goes for community Synapse.

Deployments supporting millions of users need Synapse Pro.

@element As a tax payer I want my government to use open source. Since Synapse Pro isn't, it's simply not usable for such cases.

Thank you for detailing the need for doing the same development to the open source Synapse as you have already done on Synapse Pro. I hope you do agree, it would be a pity to have to fork.

@troed We'd also like everything to be open source. But the reality is that even with AGPL, we're still stuck in the pattern that enormous deployments use FOSS Synapse without contributing to its dev/maintenance costs.

Every time an opportunity that we're counting on to fund the team turns around and says "oh, FOSS Synapse is good enough, and we can use it for free, bye" we find ourselves needing to provide a very concrete reason not to freeride - hence Synapse Pro.

@element@mastodon.matrix.org @troed@ioc.exchange Stop developing proprietary software!

If not Ejabberd is free, we will install this instead.
