Wow. The Tor Project is doing the whole "#web3 #crypto funding" drive in 2023. 2023. As if that was a normal thing that did not totally taint your reputation.https://mastodon.social/@torproject/110906828593942566

@tante Still hoping that they will announce that their social media was hacked as the whole team was at CCCamp, because it's just so obviously and clearly _stupid_...

@tante I understand the cringe but people need money to run things. It seems tone deaf to me to mock that need. Not everyone is sitting on a mound of cash ready to laugh at all the silly projects scrounging for funding.

@accretionist The source of funding does matter though. Legitimizing scams just cause TOR hasn't been able to attract community funding for years now is a really shitty look.I don't argue that that should be asking for donations or applying for grants. But especially when your project's mission is based on "human rights" etc. you really need to be fucking careful where to acquire your funds.

@tante So then you'd rather see tor die of lack of funding.Because gitcoin of all things somehow defiles human rights?It's proper to have moral concerns.But you should recognize when your concerns are absurdly contrived.Your post is extremely tone deaf. People need money to run things. If you think how they acquire that money is silly, you need to understand the world is not a place where spigots of money flow from every tap.Why don't you give tor money some other way. Or stop laughing at then for having a need.Because that is what you're doing.

@accretionist aside from crypto being a huge scam as a whole Bitcoin collaborates with Shell to greenwash fossil fuels https://cryptonews.com/news/critics-raise-concerns-over-gitcoins-shell-partnership-it-truly-greenwashing.htmpretending that the source of funding doesn't matter is convenient but - quoting you - "tone deaf".

@tanteWhy are you giving credence to t'rdSite?Bitcoiners are using the most important invention since electricity to democratically rid us of central banks that use their ability to print money to turn us from citizens to braindead, #consumptionist slaves.The #fiatCurrency cult has had a great run. replete with two world wars, if you consider them separate (or even over for that matter).Bitcoiners don't spruik fossil fuels, either, your FUDD is so 2018.

@tante I don't know much about gitcoin, but afaict, it's just a financial institution. Credit cards and banks are pretty shitty institutions too. Let's not forget to hate on them.
