Corruption often rises from centralizarion of power without having “checks and balances”. So Central economy planning system might be more to blame, than the socialist movement part of communism.
Not to mention, that in a central economy planning system, there is no accurate way for the average Joe to signal on what he needs/wants to be made (talking about consumer items, not base needs).
That kinda creates the need for separate markets to rise to meet the demand, which works without the supervision by the state. The market can’t really self-regulate, so a lot of people end up scammed daily.
Ah… the glory of USSR and the hoops and whistles an average man had to take to buy a shitty radio.
Shit, even if you wanted to have a birthday party, you had to pay extra to get vodka from under the counter.

Any other models feels like they would create perverse incentives
Also recurring donations feels like a better way than one-time tips

Seeing how codeberg is FOSS only, I’m not suprised. Vibe-coded projects is a HUGE legal trap considering licensing. And seeing how it’s based in Germany (notorious about siding with license owner against regular individuals) it only makes sense
