Thank you for your explanation! I understand that making the system decentralized would be too difficult at the moment. However, are many more steps that could be done shifting it from proprietary to free including making the code free, allow to use own avatars, while not using another proprietary system (Gravatar), promoting rather free Status.Net and Diaspora than proprietary Twitter and Facebook, accepting BitCoins, etc. That would lead in gaining trust by showing others that you truly live your values. You know what I mean, right?

However, I also understand that it would be very hard to make flattr entirely free. Maybe one day this will indeed be possible. Until then it’s important that we can trust flattr. How do we know that you will not turn into yet another “evil” company once you have reached critical mass? What is your future growth vision/mission? What happens with the money you (will) earn anyway? Be transparent. Ally with folks we already trust (FSF?).
