@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.

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?
