@maddiefuzz @nihilazo @calcifer I think it's somewhat context dependent, too, yeah? Something that actively advertises itself as the best thing since sliced bread, accepts donations, etc. might have more obligations to its users than just some random media organizer app someone wrote and *happened* to throw the source up on Codeberg and maybe wrote a "lookie what I did this weekend!" blog post about.

The former, sure, maintain it. The latter... eh. "Fork Off", if I may: merveilles.town/@klardotsh/109

@klardotsh @maddiefuzz @nihilazo @calcifer it's super simple, they have obligations that they agreed to. If they promised support when advertising for donations, they should follow through. If they put up some kind of donation account with no offers attached, they don't.

No activity other than offering support creates a responsibility to provide support.

@kevingranade @maddiefuzz @nihilazo @calcifer I think this is a reasonable take too, and probably closer to the spirit of what I was thinking than what I actually wrote (cursed character limits)

@kevingranade @klardotsh @maddiefuzz @nihilazo @calcifer but the problem stated by the OP is that (some) people tend to expect and demand support even when none was promised, or was even explicitly and loudly disclaimed.
