@zzt@mas.to Hey, just to clear this situation up: We received the donation out of the blue with no knowledge of who these people are. We don't have any communication with them and don't know what (if anything) they want from us. Maybe they just want more traffic to their site, which is mostly about software. Our rule is donations cannot come with restrictions/requirements/influence other than we add a logo to our site. They requested this. At the moment we have to follow our own bureaucratic rules.

    @netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org this clears up a lot, thank you netbsd’s hands are tied, by their own bureaucratic rules, into driving traffic to a fascist organization they didn’t vet FUTO doesn’t really make a secret of who they are. they have consistently platformed fascists and bigots on their YouTube channel. their founder is affiliated with Curtis Yarvin, a name that’s infamous enough in 2026 that he needs no introduction. would a donation from Urbit prompt you to add their logo to your site? how about Truth Social? maybe Rumble, LBRY, or any of the other far-right disinformation networks that FUTO promotes? maybe you think this is irrelevant. ok. if Omarchy offered a donation with “no strings attached”, given the context around DHH’s goals to make the hacker community hostile towards marginalized people and friendly to slop, do your bureaucratic rules state you must accept the donation and display their logo on your site?

    @netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org @zzt@mas.to Understandable in simpler times, but that policy seems due for an update yeah? What are the odds this could be changed?

    @netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org @zzt@mas.to You are truly impotent morons if you are going to do something wrong and then say you have to do it because you’re bureaucrats. Go to hell.

    @netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org You could have formed a special committee, you could have expeditiously and enthusiastically resolved the issue. You could have demonstrated humility and immediate condemnation of the party. You could have laid your values out on the table. And you did.
