@blogdiva @liaizon People have the option to receive payment through bank account or PayPal. You are 100% right, we prefer to pay people through their bank account because it makes user verification a non-issue. It's up to the user though and some prefer to stick with PayPal.

@poohlaga @liaizon this is why i won't use your services and have warned people. it’s not you. it’s the Paypal-Palantir connection.

fiscal sponsors are incredibly important but not like this. FDIC banks already do a ton of security work. i do not understand why you won't do direct deposit to individuals with an FDIC bank.

i urge you to change this policy.

Palantir is behind #ICE logistics systems. both Karp and Thiel are vocal about destroying democracy.

please, don't sustain that.

[blogdiva@mastodon.social]

@poohlaga @liaizon so it’s Paypal demanding the Persona verification, not an FDIC bank, correct?

[poohlaga@mastodon.social]

@blogdiva @liaizon We do make deposits to banks. A majority of the transfers we make are with banks. We do prefer bank transfers over PayPal. I agreed with you.

[blogdiva@mastodon.social]

thank you for getting back to me on this. seems i misunderstood your policy.

last time i checked-in with y’all was probably back in 2023 or 2024. since then i was under the impression that you would only issue direct-deposit payments to groups/collectives/orgs (basically incorporated entities). that you only issued payments to individuals via Paypal.

so if i can now have direct deposits, that changes things a bit.

y’all should still drop Paypal & Persona.

@Irishmasms @Betree @opsocket @liaizon @alxndr they are forcing it onto them, the only thing their actually doing is allowing you to pick to have your info harvested by a different set of shits instead,
