I’m not sure if it matters if the software is open source and if politics do not interfere with the development of the software.

Generally I tend to agree.

However - the devs are asking for donations - and the Lemmy code contains links to their donation page (https://join-lemmy.org/donate), so every Lemmy instance admin (tankie or not) is unwittingly advertising and promoting links to their donation page.

If you're donating, it's probably nice to know who is receiving your money.

If you're worried about where your money is going you can use Open Collective to donate, which provides transparency of where and how funds are used.

Thing is you can just donate to your local instance instead

Well, this was in regards to the Devs of the actual Lemmy backend.
