All Europeans 🇪🇺<p>One of us has been donating to <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>opensource</span></a> projects for years. And thanks to some of you, she discovered Liberapay. 😀 </p><p>Liberapay 🇫🇷 is a French non-profit donation platform focused on funding free and open source software, artists and content creators. It's a European alternative to platforms like Patreon, and it was founded by <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.cloud/@Changaco" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Changaco</span></a></span> (<a href="https://liberapay.com/Changaco" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">liberapay.com/Changaco</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>) and Zatalyz (<a href="https://liberapay.com/Zatalyz" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">liberapay.com/Zatalyz</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>).</p><p>Liberapay doesn't charge any additional fees, is run by a non-profit organization, and its source code is public.</p><p>Your identity is kept private by default, unless you choose to reveal your identity and make your donations public.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Liberapay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Liberapay</span></a> focuses on recurring donations: it's a way to provide a stable income for those you support (but nothing stops you from making a donation and cancelling the recurring donations soon after).</p><p>She decided to join Liberapay and send little drops of lov€ (or a ☕) to some projects or developers that create tools she uses. Splitting the donation among many projects makes a very small amount for each one but she believes in the power of small donations if everybody does it too!</p><p>Start donating: <a href="https://www.liberapay.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">liberapay.com</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Follow: <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.xyz/@Liberapay" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Liberapay</span></a></span> </p><p>What about you? Do you donate to open source projects? Do you think small donations can make a difference or are pointless? Who should we donate to?</p>
