I'm trying out Ko-fi. I'm glad that it's more secure than BMAC, & that I'm able to block trolls & control who's allowed to comment. BMAC didn't have a BLOCK feature. BMAC did NOTHING about the online bullying, harassment, stalking & threats, but they were MORE THAN GLAD to quickly delete my account when I requested them to, & see me leave. They didn't care. I was left traumatized. I hope Ko-fi is a better experience.

i don't think either options are good i've heard horror stories about ko-fi having bad security: recently, an illustrator named duchess celestia lost her account due to a hacker, with no email confirmations on any changes done to her ko-fi account (the hacker changed the paypal info without ko-fi sending alert emails). i recommend looking up her YT channel and read her latest community posts on the situation. she ended up losing 750+ dollars from this ordeal. 2FA would make things safer, but sending email confirmations should be standard. it's like signing up on a website and the site lets anyone log in to your account. i'd hope BMAC have better security than them.

Brother, I've got a doubt about the ssl certification. I installed my let's encrypt ssl certificate fine and it's showing the padlock on other devices but when I open the https version of my site in my device it says insecure connection... It also says (Note: You don't have a dedicated IP address. Browsers that were released before 2013 may not support SNI. Because of this, users may see false security warnings when they visit your SSL-secured websites.) . So the thing is my website open on every device and every network but doesn't open on my own devices and overall wifi connection.

hmm.. from what I understand, they can see in their paypal the email and the paypal name... But I haven't tried. If you are unsure, just donate to yourself, or ask your friend to donate $1 to you. Then you can see what details are shared. Check both ko-fi & paypal account where you donated from.
