'no proof anyone signed anything'
I don't know exactly what kind of proof you expect.
I agree that it could be more clearly explained. There was a fair bit of discussion on 'Mastodon' about it so some of that context might not be clear.
Re the donation links. It is quite common for people who show up on the fediverse and put in some work to ask for donations.
I mean it is a attempt to rally community to a cause but it was put together by one person off their own bat.
@Kaldo it was put together by VantaBlack. I'm fairly sure most of the people who signed up to it do take it seriously.
@14specks
the person behind the feditips mastodon account is, I am fairly sure a different person. But it is a pseudonymous account, so in theory it could be.

@liaizon
this is a really good idea. Say #kolektiva providing a mastodon, lemmy, funkwhale, pixelfed, peertube etc. to all users. I think any communities that do this in an organised fashion would gain a lot of new users..... but it is a lot of work. Would love to see mastodon.art do this.
