    Can I just make a donation? Seriously though I don’t see why F-droid needs to offer more than a donation link. If an app wants to put a donate pop up on first launch that’s fine but don’t turn it into anticonsumer bullshit.

      Nothing they said was anti-consumer. They’re giving options. Software needs sustainable revenue especially if you want to break Free from Google

      So if you want to do a one-time donation go for it. If you want to do a recurring donation they would enable that. You don’t have to do it

        What purpose does ads serve to the end user? Also I don’t see any reason why F-droid should be a payment system. They should just allow donation links.

          Okay, it’s open source, you don’t have to use their platform. If they want to introduce some monetization stream for people you don’t have to participate. You also don’t have to be angry it exists.
