@feditips fediverse developers need to pay or their shoes too. Devs are under no obligation to share your personal values. I bet Meta pays more than Buy Me a Cofeee does.

@luke

The devs and admins didn't do this on their own, they are supported by a massive amount of good will, donations and voluntary work.

(It's like Reddit recently claiming it created all the data on Reddit: no it didn't, it was all the users and volunteers who did that.)

@feditips There are also entitled to take jobs, for money, from any company they so choose, on account of, you know - freedom. They owe nothing.

Spread facts, not rumor

FediTips has moved!

@luke

I'm not talking about someone taking jobs somewhere.

I'm only talking about their role as being in charge of a public good that was built with volunteer labour and donations.

It is immoral to treat something built with volunteer labour as your asset.

@feditips Just because there may or may not have been a discussion between private individuals and Meta that involved an NDA doesn’t mean they’re selling Mastodon’s (already public) data.
