Donation Platform?
Any recommendations for a donation platform to help support a server? I know PayPal, Patreon, Kofi are options, but it's less clear what the differences between them are.
I run a few different servers and have been hosting them for free, and intend to and have the means to keep doing so, but folks have been asking me if I had a donation link set up to help out.
I really don't want to lock people into recurring charges or anything like that, and I also don't want to give up more of a cut than I have to, but I've never really interacted with these things before and am pretty green, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I recommend ko-fi myself, you can do both donations and memberships there
and it has the best fees out of everyone
(aka no fees mostly)
Word of advice: don’t call them donations
mojang doesn’t allow them to be called donations
they have to be called purchases
its allowed if you specifically donate to a person instead of a server, which is more what it looks like they're wanting
true
reply ping!!!
Yeah, it'd be to me and not the server specifically - but thanks for the heads up. I'll look into that just to make sure I avoid any minefields there
Thanks. Is there an official post or anything like that where they discuss it?
yeah servers and hosting section
