Hello, I’m looking to setup a page where people can donate to me as a content creator, but Patreon and the likes aren’t cutting it since they’re proprietary. Preferably something secure as well so as to avoid leaks to my personal data, as well as the most minimal uses of proprietary libraries (e.g. Google Analytics). Doesn’t have to mirror Patreon features.

      Great alternative, but is there something that doesn’t lock you in either Stripe or PayPal (most optimal would be something outside the US)? If not, then I’ll settle with Liberapay

          To make matters worse, Liberapay, just like Ko-Fi, is hosted behind a Cloudflare Proxy.

            Curious, other than cf obviously being proprietary, what issues do you have?

                You did not mention any issues, I was wondering what they were

                  With payment data, I would react same when they use another proxy provider than Cloudflare. The proxy, nevermind if it is Cloudflare or somewhat else, terminates the SSL encryption and sends the data in cleartext to the provider server. I don’t think, that proxy provider should be able to read all my money transfers.
