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. :)

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

@strypey @FiXato

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..

@humanetech @FiXato @strypey The dirt on #Liberapay, #Opencollective, & #Patreon has been collected here (w/a focus on LP): https://codeberg.org/swiso/website/issues/141 The dirt on #PayPal is here: https://git.disroot.org/cyberMonk/liberethos_paradigm/src/branch/master/rap_sheets/paypal.md /cc @espen @kravietz

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

@humanetech @FiXato @strypey @espen

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

@koherecoWatchdog @espen @strypey @FiXato @humanetech

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.

> IBAN wires outside the US

Sending a bank transfer for $5 with my personal details is protecting my privacy... exactly how?

@kravietz @espen @strypey @FiXato @humanetech an IBAN number is no more sensitive than your Liberapay username.

@koherecoWatchdog @espen @strypey @FiXato @humanetech

Have you ever sent a bank transfer in your life? Both sides see their full legal name *as a minimum* and banks see all the details, including address etc. You must have mistaken IBAN with a BTC address, I'm afraid.
