💠 Support Open-Source Self-Hosted Alternatives to Big Platforms

Overview

The initiative Open Source Self-Hosted Alternatives seeks to empower individuals and communities with tools that run on their own terms. By funding open source software, documentation, and community governance, supporters help reduce reliance on large centralized platforms. This page explains how your contributions sustain the work to design, test, and document accessible, privacy-respecting self-hosted options for everyday use. Open Source Self-Hosted Alternatives is built on collaboration, transparency, and a commitment to long-term stewardship.

We aim to ship reliable software that anyone can install, adapt, and share. Donations fund not only core development but also the care and maintenance that keeps projects healthy over time. With your support, we can keep improving security, localization, and user-friendly onboarding for a global audience.
