Elon Musk made electric cars popular. Nazi scientists developed rocket technology. That’s all fine and good, but I’m still not going to give them my money.
Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development

I think kitkats taste nice but I haven’t had one in years. Whether you think they are shit or notz the point is that they provide some value for some people. On ethical grounds, I don’t buy them.
For many people, this is the same thing. Lemmy provides value to me. However, it is open source with other forks and the devs don’t run my home instance. If Lemmy required advertising or a fee to use, it would have failed. However users are not under an obligation to donate. Generally, I would advocate donating for foss software. However, there is a difference between supporting software and supporting people.

Kitkats aren’t as nice as they used to be.
