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.

    From their website

    From people you know

    CrowdBucks is created by individual people you know, and not a large face-less corporation

    And yet, there are no people shown on the website. How do I do know if I know these people?
