Note
Archived discussion. This page is a verbatim copy of a thread from
community.ansel.photos, the Ansel community forum, which ran from March 2023
until it was taken offline in June 2025 after the site was compromised — a counterfeit
site had been planted inside the forum software, so the whole thing had to come down.
The original address was https://community.ansel.photos/view-discussion/how-to-donate.
No crawler ever captured this particular thread, so the text below — taken straight from the forum database — is the only copy left.
Answers may refer to older versions of Ansel, and image attachments did not survive the shutdown. Current discussion happens on GitHub Discussions .

Whats the difference beetwen the contributions you can do in this pages?
https://community.ansel.photos/acl-view
https://community.ansel.photos/donations-make
https://liberapay.com/aurelienpierre/
Does the membership contribute to development? Or should I use liberapay?
Also the Donations page has a visual glitch where the first row of buttons overlap and dont show any text or icon, and that makes me think something is not finished there.

All those ways end up on the same account, but the most reliable should be through Liberapay. I haven’t been able to fix the glitch on donations here, that will be for later.
