Thanks for the analysis. In addition to the monthly donations there have also been many one-time donations. I agree that it makes sense to update the donation dialog and popup with adapted text from this post, will do that shortly.

Some user messaged me out of nowhere asking me to work for free to integrate some kind of browser plugin to track "transphobes" (so people like me, apparently). If theres one thing that pisses me off its people acting entitled and demanding I work for free for them. Plus it sounded like a violation of user privacy. So I quickly wrote a response without thinking much about it.
Thanks for your donations and your understanding. Its a bit annoying that people ascribe various beliefs to me personally based on nothing more than comments from random lemmy.ml users. But it seems there is nothing I can do to change that.
I am not a tankie and reject that label.
The donation amount has increased a lot after this call for donations. Previously it was only 1000 Euro per month for each of us. With my skills I could easily earn 8000 Euro per month or more working for a company in the United States.
Thanks for your support!
Its still early and I might be a bit slow. What exactly do you want me to apologize for, for saying something wrong in a private message that was never meant to be published?
Anyway I can honestly say that I dont hate transgender people and dont have any reason to. They are living under the same shitty capitalist system and trying to make the best of it, like the rest of us.
Lemmy will not go away so you can keep using it. Im glad you like the software despite our disagreement.
Do you have a link with more details? This is what Ive been told:
That seems unnecessary because most people dont care. There is a vocal minority which keeps complaining but they dont need to be appeased any more.
join-lemmy.org has such an instance picker.
