okay so I stand by what I said about harassment and *in general* engaging with foundations and nonprofits, but I gotta publicly take an L here on the *implication* that the community's feedback was too intense, because apparently they received that feedback and acted upon it https://www.blender.org/news/upcoming-blender-development-fund-and-ai-policies/

I agree with SnoopJ here but I want to put a subtly different spin on this and make a somewhat more non-negotiable request of my audience. You don't have to agree with us that it's OK to take the money (and indeed some of my friends do not) but *do not harass* foundations when news like this comes out, and I would really like you to consider the perspective of the fundraisers here.
