Fair. My main disagreement is with the "general principle" the original poster used to support their argument regarding MoCo.
pabzu··on Let me pay for Firefox
The post seems to present a false dichotomy:

    FOSS leads to enshittification, advertising, and bad practices.

    Paid software ensures quality assurance.
I believe counter-examples exist for both models. Many FOSS projects have avoided becoming tools for user exploitation, while numerous paid software products have deteriorated due to corporate greed.

pabzu··on How to sell tickets fairly
As far as I know all the auction mechanisms are equal[1], in the sense that: 1. the items are assigned to the same bidders (paying the same) 2. the revenue of the auctioneer is the same

In that sense you could chose the system that fits you the most. I personally think that selling tickets via auction is indesirable for other reasons.
