    Hold on, is that a grant or a donation? (The difference is that a donation is definitive, while there are conditions, such as failing to fulfil an obligation, under which a grant has to be repaid)

        Thank you for answering and honest cheers on doing that. I don’t think people behind these projects have enough support or credit. And as little as 1.3k can be seen in IT, it goes directly into supporting their passion projects benefiting us as a whole (:

            Indeed. If only I wasn’t in fucking russia. It feels like FOSS suporting may finally lead me to learning crypto, in non speculative ways, only to support what these chads are doing. The Atlants, bearing the world I can regularly shitpost to on their shoulders.

      @andrew_bidlaw long story short, it’s due to our way to democratically split our budget.

      Long story short, we had 3333 € for the #threadiverse. We wanted to split between both but kbin is younger, as much less adoption, Ernest expressed a bus-factor (which is now solved given last month activity), and there is now a kbin fork. So, while sending the message to Ernest we support him, we have a stronger trust for lemmy which is more mature/popular. The rest is just making number rounds.
