It is crucial for us to support projects we like, with code or with money.
I supported:
On Patreon:
On Liberapay:
- Carl Schwan (KDE)
- Niccolo again lol
- Patrick Gold (Florisboard)
- Lemmy of course!
- tom79 (Untrackme, Fedilab, Openmultimaps, WP Comments for Mastodon, Tubelab…)
- tromprojekt (various “trade free” free libre services for everyone)
- whyorean (AuroraStore)
- Liberapay itself
- Riseup
- Nate Graham (KDE)
- Kavin (Piped)
- Léon Tiekötter (hosting many libre services)
It is very important to support especially unknown projects. But big projects also require lots of work, so…
Its not important how much you give, but there are many many many people we depend on daily, and nowhere we dont pay for it, except in FOSS.
This makes no sense and is very difficult to sustain, as even in “pay what you can” situations it would always be easy and clear who needs money and how you can donate.
Share the projects or people you support in the comments!
I somehow forgot software devs are on Patreon. Thank you for reminding me.
Consider creating a PR at this list of donation options here: https://github.com/n1trux/awesome-donations
Haha not a good idea. Huge PR incoming
As much as I would prefer to donate by bank transfer, Bitcoin or something like that to avoid additional fees, the LiberaPay model is simply best working for me.
I think of a sum wanted to spend on donations this month. I choose projects I mostly want to grow or stay in share, divide it and click like “you, you, you, you and you”, sometimes going even above my plan.
Love how the sum can be spread out for more things, instead of one big paymant like on Pateon.
I routinely donate to mastodon
BookWyrm on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bookwyrm
Glad someone is finally taking on a fediverse alternative to GoodReads
I regularly donate to the pi-hole project. Turning a spare raspberry pi into a pihole was one of the best things I did with a pi.
Here a link to their donation page.
I think pi-hole in Termux could be nice too, to recycle old android phones. Its only in LAN or via VPN in LAN I guess so its safe
Garuda OS since it’s my daily driver.
Ardour !
Donated to both lemmy instances I’m in, one of the PineTime devs, a federated version of tumblr (in pre-alpha), among others
I’ll donate to anybody who can find me a way to donate to Scribus __
Awesome list!
i give immich 20$ every couple of months. i want to see the future of that project so bad
