   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 I saw some grumbling here and there. Is there a summary for me to read about what's going on at Patreon?

      Look at that. So proud. :D https://www.reddit.com/r/patreon/comments/7ibzc3/best_alternative_to_patreon/

      But, yeah, @Liberapay really needs to work on new features, like reward tires and non-anonymous donations for those who want that!

      @forteller @liberapay Liberapay really needs to support payments via and to Paypal to be comparable to patreon.

      Ok, I have no idea why this toot suddenly blew up again. The opportunity was back then, and is now long gone, as far as I know.

      But let me use this opportunity to mention my own Liberapay account. Any and all support is highly appreciated! https://liberapay.com/forteller/
