  • I think we more just disagree with your points rather than miss them. We have never seen this term be scary for the non technically involved people in our lives, nor has the examples you provided to prove your point been considered scary to people we know.

    Many times, people in this chain have effectively asked for proof of what you claim, but you just keep reiterating your feeling/opinion.

    Now, it’s possible that everyone here just associates with people who aren’t afraid of technology enough to run across it, but that’s all we have to work with until provided evidence.

    And those projects will either never have Kavita+ features, or will die out because they do not get enough one time donations from people to keep up those features. The Kavita devs are litterally providing everything for free, other than things that cost them money monthly to run. You being but-hurt about that is nonsensical.

    Alright, then while you contribute to open source projects dying out I guess I will continue being reasonable about it. Immich had a shitstorm around it because they used rather deceptive wording at first, Kavita is pretty damn clear about what its methods of monetary support are.

    Also, there is nothing stopping you from hiding the button via uploading a custom theme which hides the button.

    Kavita+ is for features that have an ongoing cost for the devs. They have to spend their own money for running the servers hosting the backend of the k+ features, as well as for access to APIs. They are not features that could have possibly been free.

    Also, I’m not sure why an unobtrusive donate button is a downside to you…
