Seems like you're trying to passive aggressively bait me into a fair response on a platform with rules like "respectful communication" that are often doublespeak - red flags for a possibility that the person reacting fairly will be banned, while the person being passive aggressive is rewarded with herd mentality upvotes and dopamine.
Try this response on nostr, where I can't be banned for responding, if you want to make it look more possible that you may have been replying in good faith and not just to waste my time / attempt to cyberbully me.
Huh? It wasn't bait, it was a simple statement about how they already have plenty of good options for donating. I brought up cryptocurrency because you mentioned it out of nowhere.

I've had more than my fair share of unjustifiable bannings (mostly pRedditor mods abusing their power and cozy relationships with admin staff), but I hope I never become as absurdly paranoid as this.
Weak gaslighting attempt. Trying to gaslight me would generally be sad anywhere, but when you do it here instead of nostr, it's a total waste of time that could have been spent trying to actually seem sincere enough to have more potential impact
As I was saying...
