Thinking of setting up some sort of donation bucket to help support my general MediaWiki and other open-source work that's not on a client's dime.

@bvibber liberapay

[brib@bribstodon.xyz]

@bvibber There is also Liberapay.

It has the neat feature of allowing you to donate to a project and split among several people, but I do not have much personal experience with using it

@bvibber

Credit/debit card.

I do as little as possible with apps and internet based stuff. Fair go: I'm probably not your target audience.

@bvibber i'm super surprised kofi is winning o.0 i've never used it to support developers, unlike both patreon and gh

@bvibber bags of loose cash left under a park bench?

[bvibber@wikis.world]

@JoscelynTransient the IRS hates my lack of documentation for that kind of income

[joscelyntransient@chaosfem.tw]

@bvibber hard to get a W2 for loose bags of cash left in a park

@bvibber SMW folk use opencollective

[grace@social.lol]

@bvibber I feel like patreon probably has the lowest barrier of entry for a larger audience, but I don't know if they are an "ethical" company

(Ethical in scare quotes because it is doing tremendous heavy lifting around the company, the founder, if you just don't like the pomplamouse cover of Pony because you oppose joy...)

Cash app is always an option for direct one-off donations but I don't know if they do recurring payments

@bvibber I use ko-fi with stripe (not paypal - even though ko-fi allows both), but I think opencollective might be better suited to your circumstance.

On the other hand, ko-fi is very cutesy, which could be fun. Depends on the aesthetic you're aiming for, I suppose.
