It's like Marshall Allen said when fans offered to pay for repairs to th Sun Ra House: "If I was doing this for the money, I would have done something else long ago."

His counter-offer: hire us to bring our message to your community!

@dansup @carstenfranke If you're not interested then it is indeed spam, unsolicited commercial email.

Looks like the kind of offers that go out from robots to anyone with a domain getting traffic though, my guess is Brent doesn't really know what Loops is and just makes that offer to anyone getting enough DNS traffic.

@dansup rookie mistake not to ask for the valuation, would have been fun to see

@dansup Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't the whole idea of the fediverse that none of it is sellable because none of it is actually owned by one central authority?

This is just the same spam you get at any startup. The "scam" is they are just information brokers, not venture capitalists. To give you the "valuation" they ask for a bunch of inside knowledge about your operation and employees, which they sell to the various "startup tracker" websites. And the dark web if you give them enough info. They'll be like "we need to do background checks on you and your employees for our potential investors" and ask for W2 records and SSN and bank deposit info, etc.

#whatsapp confounders later admitted they regretted selling to #Facebook which is why they joined @signalapp

@dansup thank you for including your support link so that we grateful humans can chip in a little bit!

Peeps of fediverse, you know what to do; don’t leave Dan hanging!
