Patreon seems like the next best thing that has peoples' cards and their cut is 10%.
Credit card fees alone were universally 2.9% + some cents last I checked.
It's interesting that GitHub takes 0%, but that's clearly subsidized by something and I'd like to know what before I sign up to that ("clearly," because of transaction fees they're paying).
10% is a reasonable cut if they can help maintainers get from $0 to $1 and beyond.
I host all my OSS projects on Github so I can have free and unlimited CI. I have access to Github Copilot for free. I use VScode which is arguably a great software all day, every day.
All this because Microsoft has a shit ton of money and they can afford funding the OSS community as a whole.
