Yes, why use a platform not run by a pure non-profit org - and run by a guy who sold their previous one?



I’m surprised to find someone who still believes “non profit” carries any weight.

These are all propaganda sites. The value is the influence.


Bullshit, not every founder or organization is morally bankrupt. Have a look at Lichess or the Blender Foundation. (Ethical) values are an essential aspect of any organization, and at least for me, these are shining beacons of humanity.


> not every founder or organization is morally bankrupt

I didn’t say that. What I said is the word “non profit” has no bearing on it. And it may even be a negative signal, as the organization wants to appear neutral or moral.


FWIW, Dorsey has been yeeted.
