It is a little unusual to criticize someone who donated to the needy, just to say the donor was showing off and to point out what they could have donated instead to make a much bigger impact.
Let’s say you donated 100 Thinkpads (you should), but then you were criticized for showing off when you could have donated 5,000 meals to children who lost access to free school breakfast/lunches due to covid school closures. It’s a real issue, but you should pick and choose your battles (probably just like I should).
