So the same Hack Club from >>45913663 is now managing donations. Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna be donating to Ghostty any time soon. Just seems like a deeply unserious organization all around.

they are great, and I feel your concern is misplaced.

when you support literally thousands of teenagers over the internet (the delightfully overconfident, inexperienced, famous-for-trolling humans that they are) and literally only a handful have beef with you, you are running a really solid ship

"Beef" is a strange way to denote reacting to adults relying on unsupervised teenagers to manage PII and then hiding and denying their mistakes. The beef here seems to be from one whose complaints about it were dismissed, instead of taken seriously.

You're right that "beef" isn't the right term, and I apologise for the lazy take.

But there was a values tension, and resulting values clash with someone who fell firmly on one side of the tension, seemingly a bit self-righteous in not feeling it to be a tension at all.

I find the tension totally understandable and even healthy, and not something to "just fix" in a clear way, as the youth might have readers believe.

My synopsis here got the +1 from a staff, so I'm assuming my experience in messy organizing gives me a decent read of the complexity of the situation: >>45917234
