Please write to your favourite open-source developers to add the Librepay option.

You mean Liberapay?

[โ€“] mannycalavera@feddit.uk -1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Should we boycott them because they're using the US company AWS as hosts and not an European alternative?

[โ€“] lmuel@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 month ago

Unlike AWS, Liberapay is not 'big tech'.

That usually means you can talk to them.

[โ€“] JustJack23@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The fact is AWS is cheapest and most convenient option.

In this case boycotting liberapay will only create trouble for a non-profit IMO.

Isn't it better to work on viable (as easily accessible, as cheap and as reliable) alternatives to AWS?

We can also ask them to switch to an european alternative to AWS.
