@Blender even if this does not give anthropic any control over blender, the messaging is tone deaf, especially on the fediverse. If you're going to accept money from a company as toxic as Anthropic, the announcement needs to at the very least critique them, not blandly heap praise for the donation. Community trust is hard to win and easy to lose, so I would think hard about the message this post is sending to your community.

@Blender NOOOOOOOO! What the hell are you thinking? You're allowing Anthropic to whitewash its murder of everything you say you value. Don't do this.

Even if... and that is a massive IF ... they have zero influence at the moment, the optics of accepting their cash is a shitshow on steroids. It looks like tacit acceptance at the very least, and it will likely come back to bite you in the ass.
Ya coulda just said, "Thanks, but no."

@Blender I did.
Fuck right off with that. I do not give a fuck about your excuses for accepting what is essentially blood money from a company that kills creativity and steals from the open source community with impunity. I regret ever giving a single dime to you and will not do so ever again. Fuck you. Fuck off.

Note: partially reworded the social media announcement so it sounds less tone-deaf about the controversial nature of the membership.

@Blender Didn't reword the whitewashing paean to the corporation on your website, though. You'd whitewash anyone.
Pathetic.

@Blender It's not the announcement, that's tone-deaf. It's the actual acceptance of dirty money by a bad actor that's tone-deaf.
Just in case you forgot: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y4jpg922qo
They paid $1.5bn because they were IRREFUTABLY CAUGHT PIRATING.
