Wait, I didn't see anything in the thread about this at all?

EDIT: I've really really searched, where is the culture war topics everyone in this thread is talking about? This sounds like editors being upset about fundraising banners since WMF is financially well off.

This is not linked immediately in the twitter thread or in the rfc that I see when I click the link on twitter. The rfc understandably is long, so there's a lot to read and this equity fund is not one of the key focuses of the OP, so I still don't understand why it is being discussed here.

Potential explanation: was the link changed?

No, the Knowledge Equity Fund was the topic of another recent viral Twitter thread by @echetus that someone mentioned here in this discussion a few hours ago:
