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

  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.

  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”.

        I’m trying to just end this conversation, but you keep bringing stuff I have to debunk based on your previous statements.

        Is the previous comment not true anymore?
