I'm going to take an opportunity to remind you how important funding Open-Source development is, if you want it to be cutting edge and remain free.

Open-Source development takes every bit as many resources to produce as commercial alternatives, and very often the developers doing this work go completely unpaid. If #nostr is to grow and expand as an open protocol, we need to lead the way in funding development work that is important to us.

Since I am a #damus user, I am going to remind you that you can zap the team on their homepage! Damus as an organization conducts their development in the open, has a welcoming and responsive developer community, and brings the freedom of nostr to iOS in a professional way.

The team is wanting to expand to other platforms, and bring more choice to our ecosystem. Please join me in helping make sure they don't starve for their efforts. You can zap the Damus team at https://damus.io by clicking the "zap us" link at the top of the page.

Thanks you for this note and your contributions man πŸ˜­πŸ«‚πŸ’œ

nostr:npub1wtuh24gpuxjyvnmjwlvxzg8k0elhasagfmmgz0x8vp4ltcy8ples54e7js thanks for the zap, I'll use it wisely πŸ™

Sometimes it really feels like I’m pissing in the wind.

Pay for what you use, for fuck sakes.

I agree. I used to try to make #PayingForShit happen, but it never did.

Everyone wants everything for free.

Definitely some dude πŸ˜‚

I have been derilect in this regard for a month or so. But I will catch up by years end. I want to get to a point where it's a weekly affair. #FOSS is the way.

I used the zap us feature. I don't have an apple and don't have much, but I think collectively we can support each other.

I very much appreciate you raising awareness on this. I donate hundreds of hours a year to open source projects and sometimes question whether it is worth the effort.

Just seeing people talk about this is encouraging. It is something I haven't seen much of online anywhere else and within like a day of being on #Nostr, I saw your post.

Maybe the timing is just a coincidence, but either way it warms my heart. ❀️

Welcome to Nostr! Thank you for your contributions to Open Software. Open software not only provides alternatives to closed tech but also drives billions of dollars of revenue and jobs.

Dropping you a follow! β™₯οΈπŸ«‚
