Kbin already has this covered. We can pay monthly to keep servers running via

Patreon and Liberapay.

@Ernest has transferred the existing Buy Me A Coffee money over to the server fund and from this point on we really can buy him a beer via Buy Me A Coffee which is cool!

    any particular reason why there are 2 monthly payment options?

    Well there are 49 subscribed people on patreon totaling $170/month. Lots of people probably already have accounts set up which makes it a very low threshold to join.

    Meanwhile on librepay, arguably more philosophically suitable, there are 11 subscribers totaling $13/month.

    Man, considering how many people I have seen saying how great it is to be able to pay, and asserting they are making donations, those are very low numbers.

    I'm not Ernest but my guess is it gives us greater flexibility?

    Like, some of us are already active on one or the other of those platforms, plus between them there are lots of different options for amount. I'd never heard of Liberapay but I like how it's a non-profit.
