I'm not interested in the appeal for donations, but rather in the negative influence of Gnome3 on other projects.

That's a completely different topic then. There are many bad things Gnome does (hey, I created https://codeberg.org/MorsMortium/GTK4-NoCSD), but asking money for their work, from those that do use their work is not one of them.

If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to use it.

Yes, that's what makes it sleazy. I don't mind project asking for donation per se, but heavily influential and I suspect well funded Gnome doing it is bit tone death.

KDE do a similar thing once a year but personally I've never seen it.
What is bizarre is that the last one was done around the same time as KDE published their yearly financials where they expressly stated that expenses were purposefully (much) higher than income as they have too much money for a non profit and needed to shed some. Makes no sense at all.
