Which donation platform (that is accepted by Lemmy devs) takes the smallest share? (join-lemmy.org)

Let's say some of us would like to donate money to the Lemmy developers, and we'd like to make sure as much as possible goes to said developers, which would be the best donation platform to do so?

If the developers read this - aside from the above - is there one you prefer over the other for some reason?

(Yea, sending them money directly through crypto is probably the best to ensure they get the most out of it, but many of us prefer the comfort of those donation platforms.)

LiberaPay takes nothing from donations, and while you can't run away from transaction fees, they incentivize grouping monthly donations into bigger timespans to reduce "waste" on fees.
Afaik OpenCollective doesn't take any cut either, but I'm not sure.

I donated on OpenCollective, you're right they don't take cuts from your donation, there's just an option to add a little something for them if you want, I liked the transparency.
