       @koherecoWatchdog @switchingsoftware @mxtthxw ...so, where do you suggest non-tech non-geek people find alternatives?It is not enough to attack something just because you find problems there. You must provide a better alternative too.

       @FediFollows @mxtthxw @switchingsoftware It's obviously a gross miscalculation to call Liberapay "imperfect". See https://codeberg.org/swiso/website/issues/141 for a mountain of evidence showing #Liberapay to be nothing short of reckless with privacy. They feed every privacy abuser in the industry. I do not need to "find alternatives", particularly when they service is that of luxery, plus alternates are given anyway.

       @koherecoWatchdog @mxtthxw @switchingsoftware Yes you DO need to provide alternatives.A lot of FOSS projects are funded by Liberapay. Where do they get their money from if people stop using the platform?Do you think FOSS projects should be defunded?Do you think FOSS projects should switch to Patreon? Or Paypal?If you trash stuff without thinking through the implications, you may be making the situation much worse.

       @FediFollows @switchingsoftware @mxtthxw No, I don't. Having a middle man to handle your money is a non-essential luxury. Endorsing a service that works against the stated mission of the project is a betrayal and it's worse than no endorsement at all.

       @FediFollows, one alternative I have in mind is fosspay: https://sr.ht/~sircmpwn/fosspayIt still requires Stripe which is proprietary though but it indeed drops the Cloudfare dependency.  Obviously self-hosting is not an option for everyone however.Cc: @koherecoWatchdog @switchingsoftware @mxtthxw

       @cnx @switchingsoftware @mxtthxw @FediFollows #Fosspay is clearly a better choice than #Liberapay. Avoiding #Paypal is a big plus. But I must say when we compare fosspay to liberapay, it's only sensible is consider liberapay as software (not the liberapay.com service). All the evil with liberapay is with the service, which is what #swiso shamefully endorses. Anyway, fosspay sw is still better for favoring #Swipe over #Paypal.

       @koherecoWatchdog @cnx @switchingsoftware @mxtthxw You can use Stripe on Liberapay, but not every country offers Stripe.That's why Liberapay offer Paypal, because in some countries there is no alternative.This is all discussed in the issue that the Liberapay founder created on this topic:https://github.com/liberapay/liberapay.com/issues/1394They are literally asking for alternatives, why don't you participate there and try to make improvements?

       I think people looking for alternatives are willing to spend some time and read about why a service might not fully adhere to privacy and security. At the same time, I think that @koherecoWatchdog got a little too focused, dozens of content creators, privacy websites and some enthusiasts are recommending non privacy-respecting software too. Recommendations by @switching.software@mstdn.swiso.org are just one extra viewpoint to consider.

       @koherecoWatchdog @mxtthxw @FediFollows @switchingsoftware That's one big list. But it could be way shorter if all the captcha stuff would be on its own page. The remaining has some interesting points between all the chaff.Ironically, they claim Tyranny of convenience while clinging to convenient, but not SotA, tech.

       @switchingsoftware @FediFollows @mxtthxw @dpwiz One thing that people tend to despise is that #Cloudflare doxxed a child abuse whistle blower. That is, someone reported an offending CF site to CF, and CF then disclosed their identity to the site owner, who then published it so users of that site could retaliate. When Matthew Prince (the CEO) was confronted about it, he said the whistle blower "should have used a fake name".

       @dpwiz @mxtthxw @FediFollows @switchingsoftware You've grossly misunderstood the Tyranny of Convenience to the point that you seem to think you've absorbed Tim Wu's essay just from a mere reading of the title. You should read it. He opposes the idea that convenience is always good but also states "It would be perverse to embrace inconvenience as a general rule. But when we let convenience decide everything, we surrender too much"

       @switchingsoftware @FediFollows @mxtthxw @dpwiz It's a good essay on how monopolistic corps exploit convenience. Tor liberates its users but not merely through convenience. On the contrary, Tor is actually inconvenient as its users often get mistreated. Tor is a tool to *counter* some the problems that Wu identifies. And btw, Tim Wu is the same guy who coined the term #netneutrality, which Tor facilitates.

       @koherecoWatchdog @switchingsoftware @FediFollows @mxtthxw Anyway, I'd prefer gnunet-like overlay networks and simpler protocols and formats like Gemini. Tor is still convenient enough to use outdated protocols serving bloated content at nice speeds.CorpoFlare et al. are here to stay. If you *really* want to win this one - pack your stuff, get your friends and walk away.

       @dpwiz @mxtthxw @FediFollows @switchingsoftware To say that Tor is only practical for outdated protocols grossly misunderstands Tor. Perhaps you're conflating transport layer w/protocol? Tor is TCP-only but that doesn't impose an age on protocol nor does TCP imply bloat. There are both old and new protocols that use TCP. There are both old & new protocols that use UDP.

       @switchingsoftware @FediFollows @mxtthxw @dpwiz A blind claim that Tor is only convenient in "outdated" protocols is unfounded. Which modern protocols are you saying Tor is inconvenient or sluggish for? Cloudflare being "here to stay" is very poor rationale for supporting #Cloudflare. #Amazon, #Google, #Facebook, & #Microsoft are also here to stay but this does not justify empowering them. It does not justify #swiso lying to ppl.

       @dpwiz @mxtthxw @FediFollows @switchingsoftware if "pack your stuff" & "walk away" is a metaphor for boycott #Cloudflare, that's indeed what I do. I boycott all of #MACFANG. But this is not about me; it's about #switchingSoftware, who is betraying their readers by lying to them about the openness of the #Cloudflare site that they endorse & by concealing the pitfalls which directly contradicts the #SWISO mission.

       @koherecoWatchdog @switchingsoftware @mxtthxw @dpwiz Villages.io is not a payment platform, it's a barter system for social tasks.

       @FediFollows @dpwiz @mxtthxw @switchingsoftware bartering *is* payment.  Also, villages.io wasn't the only payment platform listed

       @koherecoWatchdog @dpwiz @mxtthxw @switchingsoftware You expect people on Patreon to switch from cash to bartering?Does that seem realistic to you?

       @FediFollows @switchingsoftware @mxtthxw @dpwiz it's a ledger, like bitcoin, it tracks value.

       @koherecoWatchdog @switchingsoftware @mxtthxw @dpwiz This topic came up when I first posted about Liberapay, and all these examples came up, and none of them were payment platforms.

       @koherecoWatchdog @switchingsoftware @mxtthxw @dpwiz That's still not a payment system.

       @dpwiz @mxtthxw @switchingsoftware @FediFollows of course it's realistic.  It's not a hypothetical idea, it's been deployed.  It's available.

       @FediFollows @dpwiz @mxtthxw @switchingsoftware oh so now you're limited to fiat money. No, you don't know what a payment system is.  You need not trade with fiat money to call it a "payment system".  It tracks value and ownership -- it's therefore a payment system

       @koherecoWatchdog @dpwiz @mxtthxw @switchingsoftware 😆 Oh geez...So now we get the truth. When you finally give these alternatives, they involve crypto.We are "limited" to money that people actually use, i.e. the stuff they get paid with.If you cannot deal with this reality, please stop posting on this thread.

       @FediFollows @switchingsoftware @mxtthxw @dpwiz the list (which you continue to ignore) is not limited to cryptocurrency.  And btw, villages is not crytocurrency.

       @FediFollows @dpwiz @mxtthxw @switchingsoftware villages tracks value with a ledger, but the lack of blockchain makes it not a cryptocurrency.

       @switchingsoftware @mxtthxw @dpwiz @FediFollows that's not to say cryptocurrency is in any way a bad recommendation. The platform just has to serve the purpose at hand, which can be done with or without cryptocurrency

       @joeligj12 Switching.Software is only good for experts who quickly want a raw list of unvetted alternates, to then do further analysis of their own. But it's not a site to be trusted by ordinary people because as we've seen their recommendations are not vetted. The fact that they lie to readers and conceal issues pretty much makes them useless as far as being a trusted authority
