@sylvia_ritter Why does it just look like it was generated by some #ai ?

@Ihazchaos @sylvia_ritter because AI steals from artists like Sylvia

@TuutW @sylvia_ritter what popular alternative do you suggest?

@lritter @sylvia_ritter I'am a European, ask around in the USA.

@TuutW @sylvia_ritter we're both Germans

@lritter @sylvia_ritter Missed that, I don't know if you can use Ideal for payments in the USA.

iDEAL | Paying online through your own bank

iDEAL

Sylvia Ritter Feb 17, 2025

@TuutW @lritter iDEAL is only for people with a bank account in the Netherlands.

@sylvia_ritter @lritter Really? I was under the impression that it was a European system. Sorry.

@TuutW @sylvia_ritter a .eu TLD would be optimal

@lritter @sylvia_ritter Try your bank with SEPA. https://www.ecb.europa.eu/paym/integration/retail/sepa/html/index.en.html

Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA)

The European Central Bank (ECB) is the central bank of the European Union countries which have adopted the euro. Our main task is to maintain price stability in the euro area and so preserve the purchasing power of the single currency.

@TuutW @sylvia_ritter where's the donation interface?

@lritter @sylvia_ritter For what?

@TuutW @sylvia_ritter a paypal link frames the interaction as a donation, makes it as easy as possible when you already have an account and are logged in. for SEPA, sylvia would instead offer ... what?

Sylvia Ritter Feb 17, 2025

@lritter @TuutW By the way, I only added the PayPal donation option because some people are not fans of Patreon 🙂 . It is not easy to find the perfect solution.

@sylvia_ritter @lritter Not trusting nor using Patreon isa good advise.

It's not with an .eu TLD, but would Liberapay be an option? (It's located in France.)
