I recently tried to set up a https://liberapay.com so that users could help contribute to server costs of our instance. I linked it to a Stripe account and am now being told by Stripe that my account isn't permitted because "Crowdfunding" is a "Restricted Business" type.

I thought this was a common set up. Does anyone have experience with this? I can appeal, is there something I should say or do? Perhaps I didn't describe my Stripe account properly and got flagged?

Honestly this is kinda why I gave up on instance donations. It's too much of a nightmare to use the regular payments system and nobody would really be down to send cryptocurrency for hopefully obvious reasons. Just not worth the hassle imo. :blobcatgooglywtf:

I didn't even get to the point of setting up when I actually did research on it and was like, "fuck this"
