The devs often ask for monetary donations.

That's an impressive amount of financial independence in my eyes, given what could be occurring.

I don't buy clothes I don't buy furniture I don't buy baked goods. I don't donate old clothes I don't sell old furniture I don't throw away extra produce. Mutual aid societies and gift economy FTW.

Wut? In what way is that not part of the monetary economy?

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 months ago

They said "monetary economy" which means money, they didn't say "unbanked economy."
