Thanks :)

Fully agree that theres too much politics. Like you say too often about attacking some kind of enemy rather trying to understand other perspectives. For better or for worse, those seem to be the types of people more likely to use a new platform like Lemmy. Hopefully in the future they will also get tired of this stuff.

Thank you, all donations help :)

Liberapay is preferable as it has low fees and is also open source.

I actually got in contact with them yesterday, will probably have a meeting soon to discuss how we can work together with them.

Sure just one line I have to parrot and you will be happy. But then it still wont be enough and you will ask something else, right? I dont have time for your little games, I have work to do.

Liberapay is the best option, because it doesnt take any fees beyond payment processing, and its also open source. Thanks for donating!

I see, or simpler yet a special badge which is shown next to donor’s username. Definitely worth considering. Thanks for the suggestion!

join-lemmy.org has such an instance picker.

Thanks for the analysis. In addition to the monthly donations there have also been many one-time donations. I agree that it makes sense to update the donation dialog and popup with adapted text from this post, will do that shortly.

Some user messaged me out of nowhere asking me to work for free to integrate some kind of browser plugin to track “transphobes” (so people like me, apparently). If theres one thing that pisses me off its people acting entitled and demanding I work for free for them. Plus it sounded like a violation of user privacy. So I quickly wrote a response without thinking much about it.

Its still early and I might be a bit slow. What exactly do you want me to apologize for, for saying something wrong in a private message that was never meant to be published?

Anyway I can honestly say that I dont hate transgender people and dont have any reason to. They are living under the same shitty capitalist system and trying to make the best of it, like the rest of us.

That reason being that I decided to give my work for free for the world to use. You’re welcome.

Lemmy will not go away so you can keep using it. Im glad you like the software despite our disagreement.

Do you have a link with more details? This is what Ive been told:

https://github.com/mlemgroup/mlem/issues/1962 https://developer.apple.com/apple-pay/nonprofits/

That seems unnecessary because most people dont care. There is a vocal minority which keeps complaining but they dont need to be appeased any more.

Youre welcome!

Yes thats right. Translations are also a good way to contribute.

Around 50k, it went back down from the recent high of 57k.

The real devs are locked into a server room with appropriate supplies of food and caffeine. So dont worry about them.

Yearly or weekly doesnt make a big difference so whatever works for you. Depending on the platform small donations may have higher fees though.
