    There’s also going to https://sdf.org/?subscribe, scrolling to the 2nd from the bottom row “Support SDF’s efforts in the fediverse”, and use that form to send them money specifically to support the fediverse services. If they get more money for the fediverse, they’ll pay more attention to the needs of the fediverse. Right now they’re more focused on migrating to a new array for their MetaARPA subscribers.

        PayPal’s been around for like 25 years now. SDF is the sort of organization that sticks to solutions that meet their needs, not switch to whatever new thing is becoming trendy. If you’re feeling all anti-corporate and PayPal offends your sensibilities, they’ve been accepting payments by check for even longer than they’ve accepted PayPal.

          SDF even accepts cash via mail, including EUR. Then the problem is mailing money from Slovakia. Slovak Post doesn’t allow money of any value in regular mail sent abroad. And the alternative is too expensive.
          I don’t have a problem donating money via PayPal. I did so with KDE, Linux Mint and some others. But guest payments to SDF don’t work from Slovakia, just like with Videolan. But Videolan at least allows sending money directly to their account.
