Wow, it's almost like a business can choose which methods of payment they accept. Outrageous.
The rest of Lemmy has had a meeting and decided that you no longer need to save the world. It was wrong of us to put that burden on you. Stop, rest save yourself first. We would love for you to volunteer to help when you are better.
