🚨 PSA 🚨

please never feel bad about cancelling a sponsorship to me

👉 here's what I wish I could say:

1️⃣ thank you ❤️
2️⃣ there are lots of good reasons not to keep giving ¹
3️⃣ I won't assume it was because of me
4️⃣ don't feel awkward
5️⃣ ... and don't go away! ² 🙏

¹ Here are some good reasons:

‣ reduced budget
‣ sponsoring someone else
‣ it doesn't bring joy

‣ ... literally anything else

The point of a gift is that it's *freely given*. The last thing anyone wants is someone to feel obliged to keep giving it.

² I'm far more sad when I see someone stop appearing in Discord chats or GitHub issues/discussions/PRs.

(And I do worry often that when money gets involved it can ruin what is much more important - relationships.)

(But that might be a discussion for another day.)

An email from GitHub with the text: Sponsorship Cancellation    Hi @danielroe,   We're writing to let you know that your recurring sponsorship of $1.00 from @<obscured username> was cancelled on June 6, 2024. Visit your GitHub Sponsors dashboard activity feed for complete transaction history.
