That's the answer. People forget how weird they are because they're just everywhere (at least in regions like mine).

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.

Okay, you can't just leave it there. Are you spinning and weaving your own textiles? Where does this stuff come from?

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

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

it's not part of the normal economy because they can't use the banking system

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