There’s a lot of stuff I wouldn’t mind sending money for, such as WMF, Internet Archives, AO3, and varying creators, and/or, of course, Lemmy, but as I don’t like using credit cards and online payments, I’m hindered.
I wonder if there’s some card (preferably paper instead of plastic) that I could buy at the store for $10, $20, or like, and use the number as payment. I’ve thought of sending cash by mail to the WMF, but I’m not sure if they would take it. I sent cash to Miraheze a few years ago, and they said they got it, but they don’t seem to have put it in their reports (I hope they used it for Miraheze).
I forgot the name, but someone in this thread mentioned an online service where you generate payment cards that allows you to pay for stuff with more privacy.
There are those Visa cards that charge you like $4 every time you load money on them. Western Union does a similar thing too. It’s how people with bad credit/no ID get a card.
I don’t know if this would solve your gripe with online payments, but most banks let’s you create a virtual cc that you can delete right after your payment.

Yeah someone mentioned privacy.com, it piqued my interest too but I don’t know anything about them
A few YouTubers seem to have P.O. boxes that I suppose I could use too.

I don’t know if it would work in Canada, but I just buy a Visa gift card and use that.

But I think I still would have to give my name and info.
(Also, FWIW, I’m in Canada.)
