Accrescent isn't the future

The only way this gets off the ground is if GrapheneOS, which has a strong interest in seeing Accrescent succeed, agrees to keep the lights on. This mirrors the relationship that exists, or existed, between JMP and Snikket, where the success of the latter made the former slightly more viable out of the box. GrapheneOS isn’t building its own F-Droid alternative any time soon. By contrast, JMP’s choice was largely political, given that they could have spun off their own XMPP server for less. Ultimately, it’s just easier for GrapheneOS to raise money than it is for Accrescent.
