Lots of ways of getting payments through ... you could even just buy a $50 visa gift card, then just use that to send payment through to someone ... I know people aren't wealthy ... I even have a hard time justifying giving some myself .. but I do budget myself about $100 a year to give to all the open source, freeware, patreon, subscription stuff to support the people that maintain, manage and create all the sites, services and software that I want to support ... I give to Wikipedia, Ubuntu, some other Linux distros I like, LibreOffice, some independent apps I like and now to Lemmy and the software developers that make it all possible ... if we don't support stuff like this .. then it all just eventually erodes away and gets sold off like everything before it.
