Thanks for making an account to comment. I went to sleep (live in Singapore).
100% open source does not pay money for the vast majority of people, and thank you for your contributions to the community.
I also hope you understand that I get that FOSS donations won't make a liveable wage. At the same time, we want to be thanked for our contributions to the community - I get that.
My point is - by throwing up a donation link, we're circumventing their process. What's the difference between throwing up a donation link vs a Apple/Android pay link in app? It's the network fees. We're trying to avoid those because we feel they're unfair (which they 100% are).
If the Apple/Android pay fee was the same as the donation link, the majority of the time, we be using Apple/Android pay. Why not?
We want the benefits of the Apple/Android distribution network without paying their fees because "We belong to FOSS".
