I got told off a while ago when immich got funding when I said that FUTO seems quite fishy and I didn't believe that there were no strings attached with immich. Everyone said "oh they are just a great open source grant org" when I questioned where their money came from.

I feel a bit vindicated they they are just another tech bro's philanthropic project with a habit of supporting and platforming fascists.

    This fuckin sucks, I JUST got my photos and everything migrated to immich, and there isn't another alternative that I've tried that I like. Why are we never allowed to have nice things?

    I mean, immich is still awesome and as far as anyone can tell, nothing has changed.

    Giving money to immich isn't giving money to FUTO as far as anyone can tell.

    The immich developer also probably didn't have the resources to do a deep dive into FUTO before being sponsored, so they likely didn't know.

    I also use immich and I will continue to do so, but it is just something to keep in mind.
