@frog_reborn @nileane @megalodon I'm not against them seeking funding, they deserve to be paid and I donate to them myself.

The problem is quite simply of optics, where the team repeatedly makes changes to the apps to promote their flagship instance which for a lot of people defeats the point of the ecosystem being decentralised and federated.

"where the team repeatedly makes changes to the apps to promote their flagship instance"

But it's not doing that here. How is having a donation option that only appears when you're already using mastodon.social promoting mastodon.social?

@frog_reborn @nileane @megalodon A lot of people end up on mastodon.social only because the app guides them to it

@msfjarvis

Sure, but that's a criticism of its onboarding flow, not of this feature.

@frog_reborn if you don't see how navigating people to a specific instance and then later presenting donation options only on that instance are connected then we're not on the same page about this.

This isn't moving the discussion any further. We obviously aren't on the same page, otherwise we wouldn't be having this discussion. Just stating that helps nobody better understand the argument of the other.

@frog_reborn I've laid out as much of my position as I can, and don't really need everyone else to agree with me. It's been a pleasure talking, have a great rest of your day 🫰
