Every time the funding woes of a FLOSS project (this time, it's #Matrix <https://matrix.org/blog/2022/12/25/the-matrix-holiday-update-2022>) come up, people are ready to frame it as #TragedyOfTheCommons —an expression I don't like because, aside from being historically inaccurate at best, it focuses on the _wrong_ side of the issue (the commons) rather than on the actual source of the problem: valuing immediate self-interest over long-term sustainability. Can we start calling it the #GreedEffect instead?
