More than 450 current FSFE supporters who use automatic renewal with credit card or direct debit have been affected by Nexi’s actions.

EFSE has only 450 people giving recurring donations (using credit card or direct debit, at least)?! Never mind the payment processor bullshit, why aren't more of y'all donating?

Many more likely use SEPA invoices or direct payments, which seem way better. But I dont know, the FSFE could absolutely use more donators, they are doing very important legal and policy work for free software.

I will start donating to the FSFE when they stop their crusade against RMS.

I like RMS and FSF(e), but where would we be without constant infighting?

In a more successful place, I presume.
