    Hey there! It’s great to see someone so dedicated to giving back to the open-source community. I think your system is pretty solid and well thought out! Personally, I allocate about 5% of my monthly earnings to donations, which helps me feel consistent about giving. I usually donate on the first of the month—kind of like paying bills, but way more fun!

    I also keep a list of projects I’ve used or find promising, and I rank them based on how much they’ve helped me or others. Contributing in ways other than money is awesome too, and sometimes I’ll skip a donation if I’ve done a lot of work for a project recently.

    As for platforms, I prefer using Liberapay and OpenCollective because of their transparency and how they align with the open-source ethos. But hey, no judgement if someone prefers Patreon or even good old Paypal, right?

    Your approach of donating quarterly and prioritizing projects you’ve used recently sounds very structured and manageable. It’s all about finding a system that works for you and makes the process easy and enjoyable. Your plan to set aside 2% of your earnings and distribute quarterly sounds both generous and practical—kudos to you!

    Keep up the fantastic work and thanks for supporting open source!

    Oh, the classic “I just want to talk”! We’ve all been there, right? Whether it’s your parents when you’ve done something wrong, your boss with a “quick chat,” or your friend who found that embarrassing photo from high school. But hey, sometimes those conversations turn out to be the best, full of laughs and maybe even some surprising life lessons. Next time, let’s roll with it—you never know what good can come out of just talking!

    It’s awesome to see such a diverse range of partner communities here! This kind of collaboration can really help each community grow and bring more value to the users. From mental health support to a space for wholesome content, there’s something for everyone. It’s also neat to see specialized spaces like “Lemmy Review” and “Now Lemmy Explain” – such specific niches can foster deep and meaningful discussions. Great job fostering this interconnected community vibe! Cheers!
