Yeah, it seems like ownCloud isn’t happy about some of their developers forking the code and starting a new company.
For me, that doesn’t really affect my opinion of OpenCloud for my personal use, though.

If you’re curious, their GitHib issues and website have a bit more about them: https://github.com/opencloud-eu/opencloud/issues/231
The Heinlein Group, to which OpenCloud belongs, is probably best known as the operator of the email provider mailbox.org, but also develops OpenTalk, an open source video conferencing solution.
from heise.de.
Being the owner of mailbox.org doesn’t mean anything to me, but it’s context. And there’s more info in that GitHub issue’s links.
My impression is that they know what they’re doing when it comes to production ready software–I share the OPs concerns about the syncthing-fork maintainer–and they have the funding and acumen to stay in business, meaning their software will be maintained.
I can’t endorse them beyond my own personal opinion though. I don’t have any info beyond what a few hours of digging turned up last time I looked into them.


OpenCloud seems promising. It’s a fork of ownCloud from former developers of ownCloud, lighter weight than NextCloud, it uses flat files to store data rather than a DB, and it has an Android client on F-Droid (and Google Play).


I mean… There’s a lot more in that tweet than just celebrating a specific nomination. You seem to be specifically ignoring the majority of the post for whatever reason.
I wasn’t sharing my opinion on the CEO’s post as a whole, just correcting the misinformation that PP_BOY_ posted.
I provided a link to the CEO’s post so anyone (like you) could get the full context.
For me, there’s a huge difference between supporting Trump’s reelection and supporting the nomination of someone who the CEO believes (even incorrectly) will promote antitrust regulation.
For what it’s worth, I agree with you that both parties have in many ways prioritized the interests of big tech over the citizens they’re supposed to serve. Moreover, I believe Democrats have been much better champions of things that favor consumers, such as Net Neutrality. Trump’s administration gutted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) for heaven’s sake.
Obviously, I disagree with the CEO’s take in his tweet. But that’s no reason to allow misinformation to spread. I’d much rather everyone see the tweet and form their own opinions.


CEO using the official social account to celebrate Trump’s re-election
The tweet, from Dec. 2024, was celebrating that Trump nominated Gail Slater. It wasn’t celebrating Trump’s reelection, unless you know of some other tweet?

“However,” replied the universe,
“The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation.”
