@Kaldo it was put together by VantaBlack. I'm fairly sure most of the people who signed up to it do take it seriously.

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.

@whitehouses this is the sort of thing the big tech companies do.... and then they claim that the fediverse sites(lemmy, mastodon etc) do it, in order to scare people from joining the fediverse.
The tracking that facebook, twitter etc do is not the way that fediverse sites operate. It is not a for profit space.

'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.
