Well, if meta's involvement isn't a strong enough reason to be suspicious, the foundation's mission statement literally mentions making the whole thing "financially viable"

@evan @newsmast
I mean, I'm already donating to the foundation that runs my home instance. Sounds to me like you're already there then? As in, that was always an option?

You did lose me at "advertising" though. With how intrusive and downright disgusting internet advertising has become, I can hardly cheer on that. You can call me out on slippery slope, but unfortunately you're the one happily sailing under one banner with meta, and I'd sooner trust a rabid wolf with a small child than meta to be ethical about privacy and advertising.

That is to say, I can believe you have the best intentions, but then, you're not synonymous with the whole foundation, and I can fairly easily imagine it being steered places nobody here wants to go. Especially with the kind of folks that are onboard from the start

@evan @newsmast Can I ask, what does "financially viable" in the foundation's mission statement mean? How long until I can expect facebook ad trackers on every instance?

The foundation's "mission" only makes me think of injecting adverrising and trackers. Hard to be excited
