It started with me wanting to support Lemmy, my Lemmy instance and Voyager. Then I checked what other open source apps I had installed from F-Droid. It would exceed my budget to donate to them all, so I chose the 10 apps that I most frequently use.

Lemmy
My Lemmy instance
Aegis
DAVx5
F-Droid
Feeder
HeliBoard
KeePassDX
Öffi
Voyager
Honorable mention to AntennaPod. It was on this list, but their contribution page states that their costs are already covered.

This is just my personal list, but I thought it's a nice idea to share it and maybe others will do the same and donate to their most used open source apps and projects.

@squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 5$ is kinda nothing, but his 5$ plus my 5$ plus your 5$ and all the others that donates, it's something

That's exactly my idea. I could have just donated and stayed quiet, but I thought I could inspire others to donate as well.

I started pitching in when I realized others were doing it and I was benefiting when I was younger broke... So now it is my turn.

I pay for FOSS so other people have access to it in some free usable form without spying.

As middle age cuck with a job, it is my turn.

We ain't winning battle against mega corp with thoughts and prayers.
