They're paying people to apologize for not voting last time. What that means is up for the reader. Not the same.
At first I was... wow, no shit! Open source Winamp!
But then I went through the Github issues (because, 6 hours since first commit and already 5 issues open?). As someone else put it, "This has got to be the most embarrassing open-sourcing i've seen to date.". The licensing is a mess, the coverup is a dumpster fire. By tomorrow this is going to be as viral as Twitter's "open sourcing" of its recommendation algorithm they did last year. Not sure if I should make coffee or popcorn in the morning.
Those share buttons are trackers themselves. So it's not about "supporting" those websites by publishing content to them, it's about undermining the privacy of your readers and doing the opposite of what you preach, and "supporting" those websites by feeding them much more valuable user data. As another comment said, just put a button to copy the permalink and let them paste themselves if they want to share.
As for you sharing a link on the mainstream social media platforms yourself, I'd actually encourage that. Cory Doctorow auto-publishes links (not content) to his articles on as many social media platforms as he can (sorry, can't find the article in which he describes it). The point is that he still retains control over his content by hosting it himself, he controls the (lack of) trackers and ads, and gaining traffic from these platforms is still to his and his potential readers benefit. Bending your rules a little to reach more people and maybe even convert them to be more privacy-aware is fine.
Easy. The Wall! The Roger Waters 2010-2013 tour, not the Berlin one, lol
Passive income.
The amount of emoticons makes it feel like reading some shitty QAnon post shared on Facebook.
Note that this is an article from 2 years ago. It was also posted in News, but at least it had a link to the source.
How about... the tanks could be empty?
