Hey @pluralistic can you explain why you’re signatory to a really scammy-looking effort („Free Our Feeds“) to raise 4M Dollar via gofundme(!) instead of, say, a 501(c)3 or any method that doesn’t skim money off donations, in order to establish a second Bluesky instance?

Cory rightly took exception to the "scolding" tone of some of the discussion so far. It is hoped that here, at least, we can keep it focused on the substance of this issue. So, here goes... 1/n #FreeOurFeeds
