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!
