@IcyGrillz @patersnape I don't have much to say.
Code is code, even when written by Germans and trannies.
I imagine most of the money he/they bring in is spent on AWS credits for mastodon.social and whatever other server they run, which I've long thought seemed wasteful. I understand why they do it, but you'd think that money would be better spent on development. But again, I get it.
This seems to primarily be a legal/tax thing.
@patersnape oh shit.... toilet just flushed
