Uli Kusterer (Not a kitteh)<p>Fun Fact: “donation" is a specific legal term that is protected in many countries. Many people colloquially call any amount of money that you get without having to do something specific in return a “donation”. If you do that in public (e.g. on web sites or broadcast video like Twitch or YouTube) you get in trouble in most countries, because you must be an accredited charitable organization to be allowed to ask for donations.</p><p>You may, however, solicit tips in many places.</p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/ianal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ianal</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/notLegalAdvice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>notLegalAdvice</span></a></p>
