Note: partially reworded the social media announcement so it sounds less tone-deaf about the controversial nature of the membership.
@Blender Tone-deaf or not, this is the membership nobody working in the creative field should endorse.

@Blender Fork it now and only merge necessary changes =P

@Blender Reword it how ever you like - it's all to late, you laid down with pigs, you will never wash off the smell of shit!

@Blender I almost choked on my köttfärssås.
WHAT?!?!
-
@WeirdWriter @Blender - which by the way leaves us with two options: Either nobody gave a single thought to what the kind of people who use Blender would think about a move like this, or they did & said "Fuck the users, we're doing this!"...

@art_codesmith
1. It's a donation
2. I expected a concerned/negative response like for other corporate memberships in the past, hence we try to make it very clear that this is just a donation. This is quite intense.@fsiddi that the blood money is ‘a donation’ is not the ethical panacea you seem to think it is.

bad @Blender@mastodon.social !

This isn't tone deaf. This is deaf dumb and blind. And what you did there is called "Spin"
@noondlyt @Compassionatecrab Wait — did Firefox’s pro-AI management team take over Blender?
-
@greg Can't speak for them, but they see Blender as a project worth supporting.
@fsiddi You understand you are helping them accomplish *something* right?
Anthropic isn’t a neutral party. You understand this, yes?
Stop trying to pretend this is a financial transaction that occurs in a vacuum. We’re not idiots, and neither are you.
-
@Blender i feel for whoever is managing this account, but y’all really can’t be so out-of-touch as to think the problem here is anything but the acceptance of the blood money. this is truly embarrassing to watch.

@Blender This is really disappointing and really seems like you do not value artists. AI is horrible for the environment and I'd love to see Blender take a principled stance against it.
-
@desttinghim I try to keep messaging consistent and not cater to specific audiences. That would be misleading. Criticizing Anthropic is not going to help, what we actually do with the funding matters.
@fsiddi @desttinghim you're correct, criticizing a company that proudly boasts about bankrupting your entire user base isn't going to help anyone.

Maybe "Blender" should be renamed "Digger" because what we have here is a case study in making a bad mistake and digging in and burying yourself.
The "controversial nature of the membership" was the problem, not the wording, if that helps.

@Blender Well, that answers the question of whether or not I should try Blender. I'll stick to software that doesn't steal from me or wreck the environment.

@Blender hey y'all, don't say tone deaf. Just not a good look.

@Mimesatwork @Blender
I guess you can just use old versions of Blender from before they filled the program with unwanted privacy destroying bloatwaregood job Blender, you threw away all the good will in the world
