To be fair, Joshua R. Simmons has since changed their name to Robin Riley and now goes by they/them pronouns which I did not notice noted anywhere on the matrix.org website. They’re still the same person who has been running the foundation for a long time, so I hope I can be forgiven for not realizing their updated pronoun status. So, you’re correct that they are no longer going by he/him pronouns, but I really don’t know much past that.
I mentioned in the original post that I found a reddit thread where they talked about their pay and the breakdown of finances. They pull in roughly a million a year for the whole foundation, and 50% roughly goes to staffing, which means with 8 other people in the organization, everyone else is making about $60k a year if we’re going to talk about underpaying people for their jobs. That’s all the other executives and the entire trust and safety team.
Once again, if they’re failing at their job to keep the project funded, that’s when you make sacrifices to make it work.
