It sounds like SUSE is announcing that it is happy to eat the cost of providing a free distro that is RHEL-compatible, and to offer paid support to customers who want to use a RHEL-compatible distro, all as an add-on to their core business with SUSE. Can anyone correct my understanding?

Nobody is talking about banning users "the moment they mention anything more eastern than Norway."
what you see as ads, they see as content.
It's the same logic they're still using: they want to monetize Reddit more aggressively, even if that kills its appeal and they have to brutalize their own community to do it.
They fired Victoria because they were trying to aggressively monetize IAmAs in ways that were going to fuck community interests, and Victoria pushed back. Think Rampart, except companies can pay to ensure that it doesn't become a PR fiasco, so it's guaranteed astroturf.
Reddit has been classy ever since.
The mob boss who wants $8/mo for a lame service but won't harm you if you don't want it?
You're doing the right thing. They're just trying to juice their own numbers by pressuring you to say something effusive.
Flatpak has always been the Red Hat controlled play in containerized app packaging. Red Hat floods Flathub with auto-generated Flatpaks based on their RPMs. Flathub is becoming an app store with an obvious intention of becoming "the" Linux app store, displacing distro packages. Centralization is the whole idea. No significant number of people will ever use Flatpaks from anywhere except Flathub - unless Red Hat makes its own Flathub.
Matrix's Code of Conduct says that they will not act on CoC violations that they find ideologically congenial. That's a blank check for harassment, and it applies to every forum which might be used for technical coordination around Matrix.
The post volume is still much lower, but that isn't all bad, since the toxicity and quality isn't as bad and unlimited scroll time isn't healthy.
