They’re scraping the entirety of the web, why would the fedi be an exception?

I don’t notice any legginess at all…

Boost is a native UI, both Voyager and Blorp (While visually appealing) are just web wrappers

What’s the difference?

I don’t even know where to start with this. It’s only available from the Play Store, meaning you have to have a device with a Google account logged in system-wide.

Further, if you want to give money to the devs, the other options also make that available without a 30% tax applied to support one of the largest monopolistic corporations on Earth.

And they’re also just better…

I wouldn’t bother. There are better and actually free apps like Voyager and Blorp.

So because crypto has been used for scams, no one should use it or support someone who accepts it?

No because it’s used almost exclusively in scams. Also because of the insane environmental impact.

Wait till you hear about fiat.

I’ll say the same thing about platforms like Zelle or wire transfers. If someone asks you for them, it’s almost certainly a scam.

Crypto is only rife with scum because of its privacy.

• Lack of any regulation whatsoever. And increasingly so with the new US administration.

What would you use instead?

LiberaPay? Kofi? Givebutter?

There are lots of other private ways to donate that don’t involve scams.

Its also rife with scams and incredibly volatile.

I did read the article. Crypto is just not even worth mentioning.

1. Develop a privacy-friendly app store.
2. Only accept donations through Microsoft.
3. wHy IsNt AnYoNe dOnAtInG?
4. Fail.

Sure thing. Although for maximum autonomy you might consider creating your own instance.
