Jesper 🇩🇰I read the post https://mastodon.social/@dansup/114976028199958266 by @dansup encouraging people to support @thisismissem and I felt inspired. I was especially inspired by the text in the "Supporter" category saying "Every little bit counts!".
Because it is true - even small contributions matter, and even though I know that Emilia cannot buy a lot of food for €5/month, it would matter as long as enough people supported her with a small amount.
To me "contribution" has always been a motivation for me. I contributed on StackOverflow (when that was a thing), I was a Microsoft MVP for a handful of years, I have contributed to various OSS projects and tried to help with translation of e.g., Friendica into Danish. But the truth is that if you want things to scale - submitting PRs, translating software or writing blog posts is not enough. We need to support people such that they can dedicate real time and effort in building great software. We need to put bread on their tables.
