  • Asking me to give them profit so that they can donate is so obviously pretentious.

    It’s a way for them to have their cake and eat it too.

    They use the desire of people to buy something they want and think they did a good thing at the same time, while the business will just take that money to donate to a non-profit (helping their public image) while writing off a part of it on their tax records (helping their bottom line).

    They’re not doing this from the bottom of their heart, it’s just a cost of doing business for gaining some PR karma.






  • Do you see the content of these communities when logged out (ex: incognito mode on your browser) or through another instance / the home instance of that community?

    One possibility is that the instance you’re on “deleted” the remote community, and it won’t sync anymore until restored.

    We had to do this with a couple of unmoderated communities filled with spam, with an unresponsive instance admin. It was that or defederate completely from that instance, which I’d rather not do.
