Like if you want to donate to a website that maintains trackers, or files, do you take steps to make it anon, or just use paypal or whatever? If you do, how do you go about doing that?

    Yes. Almost exclusively using crypto.

    I don’t want reminders to donate again, I don’t want to be targeted in future marketing campaigns, I don’t want to receive political call to action emails as a ally.

    I want to support and be done with it.

      that’s so true. I once donated to Wikipedia (technically Wikimedia), and a year later they sent email after email trying to get me to re donate.

      Monero is untraceable. You can swap Bitcoin, or basically any other crypto, for it on decentralized exchanges and once you have Monero it’s a black hole. At least as of now, owning Monero isn’t illegal. And it’s impossible to track once it’s swapped.

      Edit: oh, sans Monero. Yeah pretty much.

      Pretty sure special agents already know how to do this (or is that what a special agent would say?)
