You can pay via Crypto/bank transfer and probably with cash soon.

The Discord thing is a valid point.

I don't agree on the trust part with you. EVERY SOFTWARE we use boils down to trust. Because let's be honest, we all don't read the source code. (most of the time)

And finally there are downsides to such messages: Where do they stop? If someone searches for how to suicide, they should be getting relevant information for their query. Overall, I thought that if you find all the aforementioned things bad, you might like this one. From a liberal perspective, this is great.
