Liberapay seems pretty good, a lot like older gittip in UX. Leaderboards and all. I'd be interested in hearing more about it, why it split from gittip, etc. I may use it instead of patreon, but there's not a lot of information about, well, how it was founded.

I suspect I will be switching my matrix donation from patreon to liberapay. It would have been nice to know that was an option.

Here's why Changaco left Gratipay and a bit on starting Liberapay: https://changaco.oy.lc/blog/goodbye-gratipay.

Liberapay is a solid fork, and there doesn't seem to be any personal issue between Chad and Changaco. We've even implemented a direct migration tool for Gratipay users to move to Liberapay.

Changaco is awesome. We met in person for the first time last year (it was post-fork) and it was a great time.

Thanks Chad, the feeling is mutual. I'm actually going to Lille again in 2 weeks, I can already say that it won't be the same without you and Jess there.

Well, that settles it for me. Liberapay seems like a solid choice.
