Use a Payment Processor that Doesn't Deplatform People

[Ryu945]

I was looking at how to donate to this project. I haven't found anything so far but I wanted to warn against using a payment processors that deplatforms people. From my own knowledge, the only payment processor I know that has no history of deplatforming is GabPay.

You could probably setup something like a donate link very similiar to how GiveSendGo, Paypal, etc... has a donate link. Then place that donate link on the Github.

I read through the FAQ.

First red flag was that it was based in France. I know European law is more likely to cause deplatforming that is forced on the the platform. I continued to read and saw that it only supports putting money in Stripe and Paypal. Both of these platforms have a history of deplatforming though Paypal does it many orders of magnitude more then Stripe. GabPay has no incidence of deplatforming someone that I can find and promotes itself as the payment processor that doesn't deplatform.

There should also be a way of donating crypto, specifically Monero. But of course a "normal" payment processor is more important to sort out.
