two things:
- this happens when projects depend on government handouts, which is why i dislike the EU funding of free software. it adds dependency where none should exist. instead of being taxed people should (and most will) use the extra money to fund projects. being taxed to death isn't a law of nature.
- it's ok to specifically name people who often act against the interests of the ecosystem and work together with governments on AI "misinformation" detection and sentiment analysis.

quoting note1uru…cskkI respect and appreciate all the work the Mastodon team and all the various volunteers have done, no question about that. This is not about calling out any particular individuals.
But I hope that in light of the ongoing conversations, the Mastodon team will reevaluate their priorities, with input from folks most impacted by the platform's deficiencies.
