This is a really important time to push free and open source alternatives to #Patreon! I've considered using @Liberapay, but was afraid I had to use Patreon to get the network effect.
Please tell people about #Liberapay, post about it on Reddit (r/patreon), vote it up on Alternativeto, etc https://alternativeto.net/software/liberapay/
Please boost! This kind of opportunity to topple a near monopoly with FLOSS does not come often!
Are there other FLOSS #crowdfunding platforms?
@forteller
There is #SnowdriftCoop a « non-profit, #cooperative #platform for funding Free/Libre/Open (FLO) works. »
https://snowdrift.coop
It's based on #Crowdmatching (hence the name « snowdrift »)
https://wiki.snowdrift.coop/about/mechanism
But, AFAIK, to this day it's only used to finance its own development, including an ad hoc #platform coded in #Haskell.
