Scenario: you're using opensource software and you aren't donating yet, however you have enough money left over every month to do so. Something(s) is holding you back from donating. Think about what that is and what would have to change for you to change that.

Why do you want to bring that to the table? OP asked for motivations. I answered. If I wanted to go into the usual flamewar there are better places for that. (Edited; auto correct did me dirty.)

My point is that the Lemmy devs wouldn't be getting nearly as much criticism if they didn't push shitty opinions
