This was initially demoed at FediCon 2025, but CrowdBucks is an open source, self-hostable fundraising system that allows people to financially support one another. You use your existing Fediverse account to hold a fundraiser, and can also donate to other people’s fundraisers as well. The form factor is kind of similar to Kickstarter or Patreon.
Sweet so now we have OpenCollective, Librepay, and now CrowdBucks. All kind of filling different roles it seems. On going orgnization funding (with transparency as a goal), patronige of a project/group you support (with ease as a goal), and now fundraising (which is generally a limited time activity).
Am I comparing them all pretty well here? Or is there anythjng im missing?
