By that logic, would you have a problem if Promo stopped managing Facebook
(65,000+ followers), Xitter (120,000+ followers), LinkedIn (17,000+
followers), and Reddit (100,000+ followers)? These are all proprietary and all
load KDE's resources. But it is KDE's Promo resources.
If Promo didn't manage these platforms, KDE would gradually lose this
audience, and I can prove that with graphs.
It's not the same logic. Chat platforms with bridging infrastructure
need moderators/user support + sysadmin time + hardware. 3rd party
social network platforms need moderators/user support. If Facebook et
al. would be bridged to the KDE chat infra (dark magic like this might
awaken the Great Old Ones and should not be attempted), it would be the
same logic.
