        You called me dishonest when I said that you were evading to answer your opinion on the value of the work from admins. I ask you then to make it as clear as possible, to remove any chance of doubt.

        You put a bunch of links to past conversations, but you highlight things that are not the main point of the argument and take things out of context, and you have the audacity to claim you are doing it “for context”.

        Now that I got wise about your games and decided to ask you to provide receipts, you continue to evade the answer and are showing you’d rather play the victim than owning up to your opinions.

          That’s your perspective. People reading our current and past discussions will make their own opinions.

          You want to make a living out of the platform, to make a business out of it. I prefer it to be run by volunteers. That’s the core difference between our visions. The 12 questions seem a bit much while the difference is quite obvious

            You want to make a living out of the platform, to make a business out of it. I prefer it to be run by volunteers.

            This right here is a good example of you taking things out of context and not caring about “nuance” when it is convenient to you

            the difference is quite obvious

            Is it? Then why is it so problematic for you to say:

            • “No, I do not agree that admins should be compensated for their work”
            • “No, I do not agree that developers of free software should be compensated for their work”

                Are we stuck in a loop? Because it seems that yet again you are bringing things out of context and using it as a shield to avoid giving out your opinion.

                You have the time to chase things around and select clips of whatever supports your worldview, but you do not have the time to say “I don’t think admins should be compensated for their work”.

                  I’m trying to just end this conversation, but you keep bringing stuff I have to debunk based on your previous statements.

                  Is the previous comment not true anymore?

                    Yeah, you keep trying to end the conversation because you painted yourself to a corner and you refuse to publicly admit that you do not want to support admins and FOSS developers.

                    Is the previous comment not true anymore?

                    The whole comment is true. Including the part where I say

                    I’m honestly tired of this crab mentality. People think it’s a sin to be upfront about their work and how much they value their time. It’s also quite ironic that I can see the huge overlap: those who are always virtue signaling and complaining about bosses who don’t pay enough to their employees are the same ones who refuse to patronize a small independent business

                    Why couldn’t you highlight this part instead?
