If you had/have enough disposable income, what would drive you to donate to opensource software? (programming.dev)

Scenario: you're using opensource software and you aren't donating yet, however you have enough money left over every month to do so. Something(s) is holding you back from donating. Think about what that is and what would have to change for you to change that.

I started donating to lemmy.ml to show my support and to ensure the continued development of lemmy.

What pushed me to donate was all the hate and red scare the developers get. Even from lemmy ugers. I want to make sure the developers keep their enthusiasm up.

    The Lemmy devs could also just stop ignoring the abuses that Russia and China commit simply because they're rivals of the US and publicly apologize.

    I get not liking the US, but the presence of a bad guy doesn't mean everyone against them is a good guy. All the main world powers can just suck.

    Why do you want to bring that to the table? OP asked for motivations. I answered. If I wanted to go into the usual flamewar there are better places for that. (Edited; auto correct did me dirty.)
