•Yes you DO need to provide alternatives.
A lot of FOSS projects are funded by Liberapay. Where do they get their money from if people stop using the platform?
Do you think FOSS projects should be defunded?
Do you think FOSS projects should switch to Patreon? Or Paypal?
If you trash stuff without thinking through the implications, you may be making the situation much worse.

•...so, where do you suggest non-tech non-geek people find alternatives?
It is not enough to attack something just because you find problems there. You must provide a better alternative too.

•You can use Stripe on Liberapay, but not every country offers Stripe.
That's why Liberapay offer Paypal, because in some countries there is no alternative.
This is all discussed in the issue that the Liberapay founder created on this topic:
https://github.com/liberapay/liberapay.com/issues/1394
They are literally asking for alternatives, why don't you participate there and try to make improvements?

•So, you are okay with FOSS projects being defunded then?
Or do you think FOSS should receive funding by some other method? If so, which method?
