    I am split on this.
    I’d like to donate on Lemmy’s development.
    On the other hand, both developers are not exactly the kind of people I’d like to support.

    Thus I am still deciding whether to donate or not.

        I can’t as they use PayPal without allowing guest payments.
        So it goes to lemmy.dbzer0.com. db0 also has a Ko-Fi page which doesn’t require signing up for anything.

        With SDF it’s a bit unfortunate as I not only use their Lemmy instance, but also public UNIX shell.

          You could contact them, see if they’d be willing to enable guest PayPal access. Or something not PayPal. Trash company.

            nothing

            Based on the forums, they used to have more payment options which depended on the sellers.
            But at some point Discogs signed some PayPal-only contract and now nothing else is allowed.

            Which is also what’s probably killing it now. I’ve heard there’s some extra fees for the sellers, and one thing just struck me. I’ve seen seller on their forum asking for help if there’s a way they could get a refund for processing fees after the buyer cancelled a larger order. The answer was: Nope, non-refundable.
            So what happened is the buyer got full refund, and seller was forced to pay processing fees which in this case were “in the 3 figures, so not insignificant”.

            Lastly:

            If you encounter a problem with sending payment, please do not send payment off Discogs. This is considered fee avoidance and is a violation of our Buyer Policy.

            Edit: I thought this was a reply on different comment. Sorry. Forget it.
