If so, how do you choose which ones to donate to? Do you prefer regular or recurring donations? What payment methods do you like to use?
I use monero to donate monthly to projects I use
- Grapheneos
- Molly.im
- Divest
- Tor
- Free tube
- Keypass
- Qubes!!
- Privacy guides
I use monero to pay for services i use
- Mullvad
For the projects that don’t accept monero I use Libre pay
- Briar…
Why briar of all projects doesn’t accept monero I will never know…

I tried to drink the Kool-Aid, I have to use the ecosystem if I want to support the ecosystem, if I want it to grow. The same reason I’m using lemmy

I’ve set up a recurring donation for Signal, pay for a yearly Bitwarden subscription that I don’t really need because the free tier covers my needs, so I consider it a donation, too, and throw some pocket money at some projects every new and then. oh and I have Mullvad and Tuta subscriptions.
I’m donating to a few projects and also to some fediverse admins, whose instance I use.
I really like liberapay as a platform, but there are other ways I use for donations, too. Recurring payment is preferred for projects that are important for me, but one time donations are fine too. I just constantly forget that I should probably donate again for projects that don’t have a way for Recurring donations and they’re probably missing out…
