Hello, I'm looking to setup a page where people can donate to me as a content creator, but Patreon and the likes aren't cutting it since they're proprietary. Preferably something secure as well so as to avoid leaks to my personal data, as well as the most minimal uses of proprietary libraries (e.g. Google Analytics). Doesn't have to mirror Patreon features.

Great alternative, but is there something that doesn't lock you in either Stripe or PayPal (most optimal would be something outside the US)? If not, then I'll settle with Liberapay

The problem is that PayPal and Stripe are payment processors.

I only know a FLOSS payment processor and I have no idea if is authorized by financial companies.

To make matters worse, Liberapay, just like Ko-Fi, is hosted behind a Cloudflare Proxy.

Curious, other than cf obviously being proprietary, what issues do you have?

Curious, did I mentioned other issues?

[–] Cloak@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 years ago

You did not mention any issues, I was wondering what they were

What is about OpenCollective?

OpenCollective

Unfortunately as well 🙁

Then you would have to tolerate it.

The rest are propietary ones.

Well, I was telling about common currencies.

For Cryptos It is ensured these things exists but I am not a fan of PoW.
