Donationware: you must donate to use it. Not like regular optional donates.

What like itch.io? Hard disagree

Itch is free, with optional donations.

Donationware is "Please donate to continue"

No, that's either Freemium or Trialware.

I think they’re referring to software that has like donate indicators/prompts in the app, or features blocked behind “donation.”

yes, those.

That's either donationware or nagware depending.

features blocked behind “donation.”

That's just Freemium.
