      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

      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.

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

          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.

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

              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.

                  Yeah, feels like they do a lot of things very poorly 🤷
