Are there donation platforms that can accept Monero donations? (lemmy.ca)

I was wondering if there are platforms similar to Patreon or Ko-fi but they allow you to donate to creators in Monero or at least other cryptocurrencies? I want to rely less on Paypal and Stripe, especially when we have to play by their rules and recently, they have been ridiculous. I also want to give people a more private option if they wish to provide me monthly support. I know I can't cut those two payment processors out altogether because almost everyone uses them, but I am hoping I can find something similar so cut the reliance on them.

You can just post your XMR address on your profiles and people can just donate directly to your address.

in general the giving block lets some charities receive crypto

They can send XMR directly to the address of the creator. Why would you prefer an intermediary? I don't think that recurrent payments, initiated by the platform, are possible. So I can't quite see the benefits of introducing a middle man?

It would mainly to set up recurrent or monthly payments. But if there is no way, then I'll just add my Monero address and they will have to manually donate monthly themselves if they wish.
