@Gargron Some people in the FOSS community get really weird with their purity testing. It goes way beyond simple, healthy skepticism.
These people think that if a FOSS project's maintainers aren't willing to dedicate 100+ hours a week on their project for no pay, then they are "impure"/"compromised.""
For a project of Mastodon's scale, the recent donations are not the comically huge amount they think it is.
