If I want to put up a tip-jar of sorts for folx to toss me a few coins for the various #coding / creative related things I do, what services would you recommend?

Especially interested in hearing stories from people who have actually used multiple.

So, if you have any #recommendations for or against things like #KoFi, #BuyMeACoffee, #PayPal, #Liberapay, #Patreon, etc, please let me know. :)

This is something @humanetech and I intend to research in some detail this year. Please let us know what you find out.

At the moment I maintain this #delightful list, where many candidates are waiting for inclusion in an issue. If you find any more it would be wonderful if you could add..

I use LiberaPay and I don't blame devs for their technology choices

@kravietz @espen @strypey @FiXato @humanetech Why wouldn't you hold #Liberapay accountable for their choices, if not pure & simple irrational bias?

Because they provide an useful and needed service for the community. As such, they should be in the first place supported rather than shamed & blamed. As they themselves live from donations, the latter can only drive people away from them, and we will again end up with PayPal & friends as the only alternative.

@kravietz @humanetech @FiXato @strypey @espen It's unacceptable that #Liberapay has made all the poorest decisions. They're a steamy pile of shit that baits users to use the most privacy-abusing facilities. They should be shamed until they get it right. You can avoid all that garbage by accepting checks in the US & IBAN wires outside the US, & crypto currency or villages.io for cross-border txns.

Your overzealous and fanatic attitude is harming the open-source community and only helps PayPal or Patreon and other large players who don't care about privacy.

@kravietz @espen @strypey @FiXato @humanetech It's profoundly stupid to neglect all the privacy-abusing evils of #Liberapay on the basis that the server code is free software. Not a smart hill to die on. Liberapay is not a #PayPal alternative-- it's a PayPal *enabler* & *facilitator*.
