    < Payment for digital art.
    Stripe (or Square?) for artists as an alternative to PayPal. >

    So, I’ll have to open commissions (aka art for money) one day soon. And am not gonna use PayPal cuz I’ve read too many stories how they screw up artists and just all the people plus I remember that they expose billing address (which is fuckinh insane, I hope they burn for it, where the fuck is my privacy and protection?!).

    So, I’ve encountered that lots of artists use Stripe. It’s even used on Lorepository and other platforms. Also something called Square was mentioned as well.
    So, my question is: are these anyhow better than PayPal or should I just stick to Monero (and get no commissions lmao, the main reason am researching this stuff is that no one’s gonna pay in crypto for art and it all angers and saddens me af tbh)? I would like the payment system to not farm my data, to not screw me up (am disabled, dysfunctional, our family’s having real hard times and we might not even survive this year, am not gonna allow some bitchass platform to screw me over fr), to not disclose billing information to the paying person or any other platform. If anything, I don’t draw NSFW or any adult content so I doubt I’ll get banned for porn but if a money processing platform bans NSFW artists it’s an inhumane and unsafe platform anyways…

    Does this toot sound angry? Aye I bet it does. Cuz am very fuckinh angry, frustrated, upset and at my fuckong limit. I fucking dunno how to survive this fuckass capitalism, I’m almost giving up and all this shite only adds up to stress and concerns!

    Or I fucking dunno, if all of the platforms are like this, how the fuck are you folks getting money for digital art? Like, queer persons, minorities, endangered persons, etc? How the fuck do you protect your data and your money, from harmful bitches, scammers, big tech and those platforms themselves?

    And aye, am all about spreading kindness and I do love people dearly, but am no delusional and fully aware that scammers exist alongside with big tech and every other bitch out there. They’re kinda the reason I choose to not be like them ig.

  6. I'm looking at my to-do list for next week and it includes the annoying Elavon fix (their support basically told me to do it myself)

    So, in between drawing tits right now I'm looking at other processors.

    Anyone know anything about Curo? @zkat ? @feff (You're the first two I think of when talking processors, sorry! 😂)

  20. Such a move by #stripe could expand usefulness for people presently unable to use it without increasing costs (like me)... but i don't think that is what they will do if they acquire #PayPal.

    I have a real distaste for platforms that use stripe. They leave a lot of the world out.

    Very odd 'paywall' for many in the world that don't have the access.

  25. Payment processors are reconsidering their stance on CSAM after the AI model Grok was implicated, while Elon Musk’s lawsuit over the issue has been dismissed. The shift could reshape how tech platforms handle image‑generation abuse and digital hate. What does this mean for open‑source AI? Read the full story. #AI #Grok #CSAM #PaymentProcessors

  27. 🚀 Oh look, another "world-changing" payment processor that promises to revolutionize finance by doing absolutely nothing new, but it’s open source, so it's obviously the Messiah of #fintech. 🙄 Meanwhile, the rest of us are still trying to figure out what "zero webhooks" even means without a thousand GitHub plugins. 🤦‍♂️
