@zzt 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.

@zzt legitimately we haven't had to have this discussion before because nothing like this has ever happened before to us. such is life in these past few years.
someone's brought it to our board of directors now so a decision has to be made one way or another, just not over mastodon.
@MonKaiju @zzt generally, board doesn't make public statements like that. however, since everything is exceptional at the moment, and it's already being talked about, yeah there will probably be a statement. stay tuned.
@zzt @dnkboston at least have the decency not to misgender me while you send your followers to harass us, thanks.
