Yes, donating helps them develop the project, which is great and I encourage everyone who can to do so, but it doesn't change the direction of the development. Mastodon is ultimately people powered, making spreading sentiments a reasonable way to change this, if you're not going to develop the project yourself.

Making statements is as much bullshit as “raising awareness”. If you don’t have skin in the game–as a developer, as a funder, as part of governance–your bleatings are as valuable as the bleatings of anybody else commenting without cost.
Get involved. Get skin in the game. Participate in the process of making Mastodon. Hell, if you absolutely must bleat without working, at least bleat in the right place: the actual project’s communications channels!
Bleating in Lemmy that Mastodon must change is just performance art.

I'd like to add that the developers' communication channels is a very inappropriate place to complain for someone who is uninvolved with the project.
(And you can tell that this is primarily directed at Mastodonians because the title is also the first line, because of the seemingly excessive explanation of how this place works and because of the hashtags and the mentions in the end of the post. Also, why would I specifically write to fedi tips if this was just a Lemmy post?)

“Reaching Mastodon” is still just gum-flapping. Reach Mastodon developers. Use their issue tracker. Address them directly. All you’re doing here is beating a pot with a ladle while parading around the house.

Well it's not an actual issue; it's just my ideas of what would be better. If only I think it, why should they do anything? What I'm really trying to do is to see what people think and spark some thoughts.
