We don’t cater to everyone. We want to empower people and enable them to
use free web services, hence target those that just want their software to
work without tinkering (the majority). And those most likely don’t use
mailing lists. Although mailing list users tend to be very vocal and thus
seem to represent a majority, they are not.

As said before, freeing those who are already free is not our goal. If
software is shit then it being free doesn’t make it less shittier. The
software needs to work, be useful and fun.
