@the-skyfoxx definitely would be open to supporting Valkey or some other alternative, but do keep in mind that Mongo also uses SSPL, a similar license. End of the day for people using the software it does not affect us, but if you object out of principle then there are alternatives.

@The-SkyFoxx nope, as federation was enabled for this forum, all users are automatically federating their content out (at least for the categories I've manually enabled federation on). That tells me I should probably do a write-up on how this all works currently, in NodeBB.

You can modify/override methods on the db object but not sure if it's worth the trouble.
