There were haters when we introduced the in-app donation appeal at @thunderbird, but the numbers didn't lie: hundreds of thousands of Thunderbird users responded positively, and annual donations went through the roof. I'm pretty excited to see this a similar approaching already working for #KDE as well. As I keep saying, this is the way! Don't rely on your users to find your donation appeal. Deliver it right to them. https://kde.social/@carl/113584215951224710

@killyourfm @thunderbird When you're fishing with a wide net the goal isn't to catch every fish, it's to catch a lot of fish. How many of those people annoyed by the prompt were simply never going to support the project in the first place.

@BrodieOnLinux @thunderbird EXACTLY this. But then, I know YOU get it because I watched your interview with @ryanleesipes ;-)

@BrodieOnLinux @killyourfm @thunderbird first question for any project should be "how do we make this sustainable?" What's worse - occasionally annoying your users or the project dying entirely?Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. Glad to see this strategy working for KDE.
