    I generally think these guys are being a bunch of assholes.

    However, some people in the comment threads challenged my point of view, and stated that users have no rights to demand anything from developers who give away their work for free.

    Just wow that is how they start it

      They’re not wrong. On multiple occasions the devs have acted like assholes, this one as well. Especially the part where they initially didn’t think GDPR would apply because they aren’t a commercial entity (paraphrasing) is comically depressing.

      Having said that, I won’t be cancelling my donations anytime soon. Assholes though they might be, I still want to pay back to the Lemmy community, and I can’t think of a better way than this.
