Thanks, Ella!
Yes I agree, some privacy payment info would probably help folks like me in future. I don’t have much experience (nor confidence) in this area and could frankly use a slight bit of hand-holding, haha.

Hey Johnny!
I really appreciate your desire to help support this instance- seriously, it means a lot. Erring on the side of causation is reasonable and I don’t blame you.
I’ll be honest, I don’t have an immediate answer for privacy conscious payment methods for US users, but give me 2-3 days and I will find out what method works best for you. Again, it’s awesome you posted this so we can figure it out not just for you but for other privacy focused users based in the US.
Thanks for printing this to my attention!

I know there are some payment masking services like privacy.com that will do what you’re looking for

Might I recommend liberapay.com ? As a user, I can donate with PayPal and they minimize vendor fees by collecting up front from me and performing recurring donations to you (lemm.ee) and it allows me to retain personal privacy if so desired (per the other reply). Here is the core Lemmy developer using the platform for example: liberapay.com/dessalines/ | liberapay.com/Lemmy/
