    Well then you you need to pay for proprietary software or give your data to Google and friends.

    No. No I sure don’t.

    There is no such thing aa “first party”

    There is. It’s the original development team of the project.

    This repo has contributions by 111 different developers at the moment.

    All to the same first-party SyncThing repo.

      The one that got discontinued, you mean? It didn’t matter that it was “first party” as it still got the axe. This fork has existed for multiple years now, and may end up having a longer life than the “first party” one had.

      This is not uncommon in the open source space.

        Yes I do remember saying that a few hours ago.

        may end up having a longer life than the “first party” one had.

        You can “may” anything you want.

            I didn’t avoid your point at all.

            I wasn’t discussing what “may” happen. I was discussing what’s more likely to happen.

              That’s still something that may happen. Just because you think that third party is more likely to go away doesn’t mean it will happen. So yes, you completely avoided my point and continue to do so. You even used “might” earlier. That sounds a lot like may to me.
