Comment on The admin of the third largest Mastodon instance (16k monthly active users) is asking for help to pay rent

You called me dishonest when I said that you were evading to answer your opinion on the value of the work from admins. I ask you then to make it as clear as possible, to remove any chance of doubt.

You put a bunch of links to past conversations, but you highlight things that are not the main point of the argument and take things out of context, and you have the audacity to claim you are doing it “for context”.

Now that I got wise about your games and decided to ask you to provide receipts, you continue to evade the answer and are showing you’d rather play the victim than owning up to your opinions.

That’s your perspective. People reading our current and past discussions will make their own opinions.

You want to make a living out of the platform, to make a business out of it. I prefer it to be run by volunteers. That’s the core difference between our visions. The 12 questions seem a bit much while the difference is quite obvious

  This right here is a good example of you taking things out of context and not caring about “nuance” when it is convenient to you
  
  the difference is quite obvious
  
  Is it? Then why is it so problematic for you to say:
  
  “No, I do not agree that admins should be compensated for their work”
  
  “No, I do not agree that developers of free software should be compensated for their work”

    Is this comment not true anymore?
    
    I’m one self-funded developer who is stubborn enough to run this at a loss for almost 5 years now, and my greatest ambition here would be to maybe get 10-15k customers to pay me $30/year to be able to live with minimal comfort, provide for my family

    Are we stuck in a loop? Because it seems that yet again you are bringing things out of context and using it as a shield to avoid giving out your opinion.
    
    You have the time to chase things around and select clips of whatever supports your worldview, but you do not have the time to say “I don’t think admins should be compensated for their work”.
