I'm now on fixed income but I appreciate FOSS. I usually try to donate, especially if the project accepts bitcoin which I've had for a while so it costs me less. Too bad many projects don't. That includes Wikipedia and they keep asking why I stopped.

What are some things you donate to? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] badelf@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

I'm retired on fixed income, but if I use an app, I try to send the developer some money. I usually only send if they have a bitcoin route. (Which is why I stopped supporting Wikipedia)

Lemmy Client with Filter (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm not sure where to ask this so I started here: here: Is there a Lemmy client that has a filter. I want to hide posts from particular accounts. Like anyone for hexbear, for example. I know I can set up my own instance, but that's more work than I want right now. I was hoping someone knew a client that could do this.
