So, I think the admins are doing a great job and wanted to donate, however it only seems to be possible to donate via Github (snowe’s account). Saying Microsoft isn’t my favorite company would be putting it lightly, so going through them to donate is… not happening.

Is there any other way to donate? I’d even do bitcoin or monero if so requested (crypto market is having meltdown right now, so it’s cheaper than usual 🤑 ).

    So why are you supporting someone who uses GitHub at all? Why are you continuing to be part of the problem, as you put it? It doesn’t make any sense for a hardline position like this to come anywhere near an instance that’s got pro-GitHub admins. Hell, your mislabeled license comes from GitHub. Why are you not using something else untainted by Microsoft?

      I don’t agree with parent, but I also think that we should stop judging people by association. It’s not just because someone uses closed software that automatically means they are as evil as the corporations that abuse their power to ensure their monopolies. It makes perfect sense to say “I want to support what you are doing but I do not want to show it in a way that enables some third-party that I do not like”.
