I'm not suggesting the organizers of this fundraiser.missappropriate the money. I'm saying that this fundraiser seems pretty pointless and the money would be better spent elsewhere

That money wasn’t given to spend somewhere else. That’s like if I raise money for a school art program, and you say it would be better spent on a sports program, cause it’s so much money. That’s not what the fundraiser was for, and that’s not why the money was given.

And again, you are free to start a fundraiser for Mastodon. I honestly wish you luck if you do.

Idk I view it a little closer than that. Rather than an arts program v sports program I see it as an art program that wants to buy paint and I'm saying maybe it would be a better idea to buy easles, canvases, pencils, paper, and pastels instead
