@Edent
Inside the EU and in Euro, I prefer a SEPA money transfer: cheap (actually free), fast, ... . But I guess that is not an option here@kristoff @Edent My UK bank happily accepts inward SEPA payments with BIC and IBAN, but it's almost impossible to send outwards without going into a branch because they haven't built the UI for customers to do it themselves.
UK bank customers: BACS/Faster Payments.Again, fee-free, and fewer middlemen from dubious jurisdictions with dubious business rules.
If you're worried about direct debits etc being set up, give out details for a saving account not a current account.

@Edent@mastodon.social Something GNU Taler based.

@Edent SEPA followed by PayPal

If it is within the EU, Wero. -

@zymurgic @Edent Some time ago, I found out that although the UK has left the EU, it is actually still part of the SEPA (Single European Payment Area).
I do know that SEPA payments are only free in EUR (and SEK I think) so I assume a transfer to a UK bankaccount in euro would also be free.
I wonder do how much it would cost to make a SEPA payment in euro to an UK bankaccount in GBP.Good idea to use a savings account instead of a current account. Very smart

@thezenlady what do you like about Ko-Fi compared to plain PayPal?

What if Mastodon had this button?
(I am not involved in core development. This isn't an official proposal. I'm just noodling about with ideas. Don't shout at me in the comments or get weird.)

Pixelfed has been talking about integrating with the web monetization API for a while now: https://webmonetization.org/

@Edent As alternative; this could be a browser extension instead

@Edent might be desirable to some, but this would be the first part of the Mastodon UI I would have to use uBlock to hide. To me, emblematic of the constant depressing drive to monetise everything.

@Edent Rather than changing Mastodon, a solution might be to add a link in your webfinger data.
"rel = https://sometipservice.com?id=foo@bar.com", then compatible clients can add the button. -

@Edent Maybeee, for people producing art, videos, etc and using Mastodon to promote, though in that case there are existing payment options available (Patreon, etc). Not sure it needs to be built in here too.

@Edent Whould be neat, if the old flattr was around this could be made with something like that.
With Flattr you could have split the monthly flattr-amount between all the Favs you gave. -

@Edent If I wanted to accept tips on social media, I would put a ko-fi/patreon/floatplane.. link into my profile.
