I really liked the idea of #flattr.

I have a budget set aside to pay for 'things I like in the world' and use it mostly to pay for, or sponsor, #FOSS software and art/creators, but there are a couple things I dislike about the way I spend it.

1) Payments are fragmented over sites/services.
2) I can't give something to every project I like.

I liked the idea to pool all my money with others and give everyone a slice.

Once upon a time, we had #flattr for such use cases …

@louisderrac
il y a des lustres de ça, je disais :
"Occupe-toi de l'Informatique avant qu'elle ne s'occupe de toi"
Nous sommes typiquement dans la dérive attendue... Donc, je ne vois pas où est le problème, si ce n'est qu'il est à la source de cette dérive 🙄

Tout comme on ne signe pas nos mails avec #PGP , on a toujours des claviers AZERTY, on doit payer des abonnements aux médias alternatifs, alors qu'on n'en a plus les moyens, et #FLATTR qui permettait à tout un chacun de participer a disparu, etc, etc, etc
Finalement, la "société" obtient ce qu'elle a voulu...

@X00001 Obviously this is typical of #ClownFlare.

They are happy with #Malware, #Cybercrime and #Terrorism and literal #CSAM on their network as long as they are the ones profiteering from it.

• #CloudFlare's Business Model is a #ProtectionRacket and their offering should neither exist nor have a market, plain and simple.

And no, CloudFlare isn't interested in launching a shittier version of #flattr or something.

• Personally, I block their #ASN just like their clients and all the "#AI" grifters!
