@Raccoon @vantablack What this makes clear, when you are looking at this as someone who personally sees about two dozen mutual aid posts a day, in regards to health, in regards to housing, etc. is that mastodon has a very clear class stratification.
There are apparently people who can afford to throw away hundreds, thousands of dollars towards what is essentially the most insufficient, meaningless gesture in the entire world of campaign politics, rather than *actually help & save other people*.
