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.

    Yeah, you keep trying to end the conversation because you painted yourself to a corner and you refuse to publicly admit that you do not want to support admins and FOSS developers.

    The whole comment is true. Including the part where I say
    
    I’m honestly tired of this crab mentality. People think it’s a sin to be upfront about their work and how much they value their time. It’s also quite ironic that I can see the huge overlap: those who are always virtue signaling and complaining about bosses who don’t pay enough to their employees are the same ones who refuse to patronize a small independent business
    
    Why couldn’t you highlight this part instead?
