  • They use GiveSendGo, which is the same thing. It’s founded as a Christian alternative payment platform and the CEO and CFO have gone on record numerous times to defend indefensible scum.

    GiveSendGo used to use Square which actually does run CashApp (so your joke is not far from truth), but after pressure on Square they seem to have dropped GiveSendGo, whom now use Stripe. Stripe has not responded to queries regarding the Shiloh Hendrix case (awful lady who called the kid at a playground the n word and went on to raise nearly $800k), and continue to work with GiveSendGo.

    As a totally unrelated aside, major early investors in Stripe are Elon Musk, and Peter Thiel.






  • Personally i wait and see how the institution responds and make my assessment then. Cool heads and all that.

    There is a tendancy on the left to become reactionary - spot one bad actor and ‘throw the baby out with the bathwater’ by personally blacklisting a whole attached group.

    While that might feel good and have some short term positive feedback with upvotes on a social post, its also great for the right wing too. They just have to highlight a single problematic incident and watch as their enemy platform/org/service is abandoned by leftist puritans. The same does not happen for right wing groups, as their users are far less likely to baulk over one or two issues, so they don’t even need to worry about this attack method being turned inward - no blowback.
