@Blender Eww. Fucking gross.
it's nice that y'all are liking my post but Blender doesn't get to see that. You either have to voice your own outrage or retoot mine. Just pressing the star doesn't have any effect.

@Blender Fuck. No.

@miss_rodent @Blender Well said. I just want to comment with all the traction this is getting, this isn’t it guys. It’s photography, it’s graphic art, it’s business, it’s jobs, it’s every nook and cranny you look and despite being told otherwise tech is bleeding people. If this gets more people thinking that’s great, because the tech has been here redifining human worth for a while now.

@Blender SHAME

@Blender I understand that funding an open source project like Blender is a challenge but you do have choice who you want to associate with. This decision is more than disappointing. I have supported Blender for years through contributions to the development fund and with my work on the bug tracker a couple years back. It has been a shining example for an open source project that I have recommended to everyone. This crosses a red line for me and I will be stopping my contribution to the development fund. I hope you take the community feedback to heart, reverse the decision, and establish a better policy that considers ethical aspects about who you're taking money from.
@robertguetzkow Thank you for making your point in a polite way.

So your project is going to end up a vibe coded piece of shit - got it!

@Blender anyone know any alternatives to Blender now they are AI humping assholes who teamed up with people who stole people's work?

Like if your decision to take Anthropic patronage is "polite" on any way.

@Blender i now feel a bit less shitty, that i have installed Blender, but so far did not take the time to really learn to use it.
I would be so angry now, had i invested my time.So deleting it is.
A shame.

@Blender "nobody liked that"

Note: partially reworded the social media announcement so it sounds less tone-deaf about the controversial nature of the membership.
@Blender
Really? The wording is the problem?
You already got some shitstains on that list like Facebook... oh sorry I meant mEtA. I guess dirty money can taste very good if you just look the other way. On that note, who is next? Lockheed Martin? I bet they have a lot of money to spare -

@Blender And just like that, you threw all the good will and trust you've been accumulating for decades into a blender.
Thanks for nothing.

All right, Francesco here - CEO at Blender. I'm going to spend some time to try and respond. If you have direct questions or comments, reply here!
Why take corporate money? Why take THIS corporate money? Why not throw this out to the Blender community at large and include them in this decision BEFORE accepting this money? The complete disregard for user's very valid concerns with regard to AI and especially Anthropic AI money in a beloved FOSS project is insulting in the current world. How could you not foresee the blowback?

@Blender Tone-deaf or not, this is the membership nobody working in the creative field should endorse.

@Blender Fork it now and only merge necessary changes =P
