So I set up a recurring donation despite being someone that would 100% get banned by the people I’m donating to if I were to comment on their instance.
Same way I can’t stand people using one negative within a larger political platform as an excuse to parrot anti-electoralism I feel like I shouldn’t use one unfortunate facet of the fediverse as an excuse not to donate towards its continued development.
Support “better” rather than waiting for “perfect”
Coin flip between it just being yet another case of musk lashing out because his ego hurts and him trying to distance himself from the trump admin when the closeness has caused catastrophic damage to his companies brands (too little too late, but still)
