I contribute 2% of my annual salary (after taxes) to the software I use personally, $360 of which goes to the continued development of Lemmy. The splits are uneven and depend, primarily, on how much I feel the project needs money. For example: I participated in Bonfire’s Indiegogo campaign, but I have only ever given Mastodon, like, $5 once.
Professionally, I make sure my company makes donations to the FOSS projects we use in production. It’s less than they deserve but more than I can afford out of pocket.
If you put all those contributions together, they wouldn’t sniff even $10k annually. But then again, my company and I don’t have nine figure revenues.
41M units sold at $15 a pop. Even if he only sees $2.50 of that, it’s still over $100M. If expecting a 1% contribution is “hard to please,” then yes I am.
A monthly commitment isn’t an annual commitment. I hope it’s like, “here’s 125k, and also 125k every year for the next decade.” But if it were, they’d say so.
I think they’re saying they would like to see it be an annual commitment, as in every year. Not defending their shitty gatekeeping on donations to developers.

You?
Ah dang I give 3% of my annual salary why are you giving so little? Feels low.
Perfect response lol.
That’s great! Can you figure out what percentage of annual earnings CA is contributing? The answer might surprise you!
You’re probably hilarious at a party
Dang, you’re hard to please

Considering they’ve pledged ongoing support, you may see that come true.

What do you mean by your first sentence? Why does the frequency matter?

Rrriiiiight I see. They phrased it very poorly but I can see that reading
Yeah, feels like they do a lot of things very poorly 🤷
You’re responding to someone who chose to join the fediverse via lemmy.inbutts.lol
Mentally twelve, if not also biologically.
I’m also on the fediverse @[email protected] – an inarguably better subdomain.
Lemmy is part of the fediverse.
Also if your toots are trapped in your butt, you should probably see a pharmacist, there’s medication that can help with that. /j
