3 days agoI don’t want their money. Money means they’ll feel even more like they own it.
I wonder if this could be avoided by having companies pay into funding pools instead of paying specific developers. Something like the Sovereign Tech Fund, perhaps with different structures or selection processes, might mitigate any sense of corporate entitlement.
Your account info says you joined Lemmy a couple of years ago. Could that have something to do with it? Could be that there are simply fewer of us here than wherever you were before.
Also, if Reddit is one of your haunts, keep in mind that a lot of communities there partially dispersed a little over a year ago, and not everyone has reappeared in the same place (or at all).
