I would donate to (and have donated to some of) the following:
- Vaultwarden
- Jellyfin
- Invidious project and yewtu.be instance
- Shynet
- Riseup VPN
- Photoview
- Jerboa
Probably 100% Mozilla.
The free and open web is so in danger right now.
I wouldn’t donate to a nonprofit that pays 5 mil a year to their CEO, it sounds to me they have the money but waste it on the wrong things.
Can I donate to EFF instead?
Sure, but if Mozilla dies, Firefox dies and we’re all on chromium 🤮
Mozilla might have mismanaged their money (didn’t know about that), but right now it’s a tangible (and the only) mainstream alternative to Google’s monopoly.
- ReactOS (to transition towards x86_64)
- XFCE
- Eclipse
- GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP)
- Krita
- RawTherapee
- Fornjot (the CAD written in Rust)
AROS
GIMP for sure.
Gimp
I recently donated to immich. That project created a product that allows me to take back ownership over my photographs and no longer am I dependent on Google for my memories.
1k to NixOS, (my perfect distro)
500 to NewPipe (dont know what I would do without them)
500 to Bitwarden (for hosting my passwords),
500 to XFCE (for the Wayland transition),
500 to Neovim (my text editor of choice),
500 for Aurora Store (essential for all Custom ROM users, to support them in these difficult times),
500 for the core Lemmy project,
500 for my instance’s maintainers,
and last, but definitely not least:
500 for The Everything Project: A project which aims to provide a unified way to access various platforms and services including but not limited to Lemmy and other Fediverse platforms, Reddit, and more. (no, I’m not a contributor or maintainer, but if you want to be, or just want to find out more: https://github.com/everything-gripe )
Gimp or libre office.
Kdenlive (my video editor, already donate them $40/yr)
Krita (image editing program I occasionally use)
Linux Lite (my first distro)
Lemmy (obvious)
uBlock origin (obvious)
Internet archive (to preserve what we had)
EFF (to fight against corporations trying to bend the laws in their favor)
Some Apps I’ve used from F-droid
Minetest maybe. Microsoft is making some bad choices for minecraft and I’d like to see more love for its open source competitor.

uBlock Origin would be my number one, but they don’t take donations. So my list would roughly contain:
- Organic Maps
- Thunderbird
- Internet Archive
- Codeberg
I’d like to donate to Firefox as well, but Mozilla spends too much for the wrong things and AFAIK it’s not possible to only support Firefox development.
uBlock Origin would be my number one, but they don’t take donations.
You can always donate to the people who maintain the filter lists!
Kbin, Mastodon, Signal, CryptPad, Bitwarden Libre Office, Paint.NET, OpenShot, Audacity, F-Droid
Dude paint.net is not opensource other than that I don’t know why you are being downvoted to oblivion.
Oh that’s my bad. I never actually realised that they are no longer open source. Am I being downvoted in lemmy.ml? If yes, then I have no idea why and don’t really care lol. I would happily support each of the projects I mentioned.
