I just chipped in for lemmy.one and that got me thinking that I’ve seen a lot more of Ko-fi.com popping up instead of Patreon. Is it because of fees or an one time tip jar feature?

I’m also curious as to why more folks don’t use https://liberapay.com/ especially the more federated/FOSS minded folks.

Just trying to learn what’s hot and what’s not and what the creators/devs prefer and why.

    Both. Thanks for your support! I should check out Liberapay again though.

      Thanks for validating, definitely want to shift my contributions to the platform that’s most beneficial for the beneficiary. I’ve been using liberapay to support for a few years and it has worked well. The fact that it can be hosted and not at the whim of a financial entity (aside from stripe/PayPal) is nice. Keep up the great work!
