@deadsuperhero I don't think you should be flamed for this at all. Any Fedi instance could easily benefit with a payment solution simply for server costs - an integrated solution is much better than handling that externally, and you could grant things like, a little "support" badge on someone's profile, as an example, a shoutout on their About page, things like that.
I'd rather pay my instance admin directly through here instead of Ko-Fi, which is the case right now.
