Learning how to accept that one has no control over what others think and say is a valuable lesson in life.
Heck, I even forgot that lesson at some point and it did a real number on me.

I have control over who follows me and if I wanted I could have control over who uses my future work. Maybe I won't continue working on open source projects in the future when the community of users around it is so unsupportive of me even when I desperately need their help.

I don't think Trezor supports that and it's the only way I want to handle Bitcoin. I don't really see how it's relevant to these discussions. Finances aren't close to the top thing on my mind right now. There are more pressing issues like the escalating attacks from Copperhead.

Tell me how to set up PayNym or something else with Trezor rather than a static address and I'll do it. Keep in mind that someone can make small donations ending up in the same pool of money. I'm not really sure how avoiding the static address can be a viable approach to privacy.

I use the passphrase feature. What I like about the current way of doing donations is that there are no moving parts. I don't need to maintain another service or worry about it being compromised. Doing it this way gives me peace of mind about the donations being safe and secure.

Ok, great. You can import that seed and passphrase directly into Samourai. Your PayNym is deterministically generated from the seed. Apk download here.

I don't want to give my seed / passphrase to anything but the Trezor though. I'm always careful to enter the passphrase only on the Trezor itself rather than my phone. My main concern is the security of the money.

I'd rather just make a separate wallet for this if it's going to need a seed / passphrase and then regularly transfer over the money to the same hardware wallet. It's one more thing I need to worry about and deal with though. I also think typical Trezor frontends won't handle it.

If addresses are being generated for that seed/passphrase dynamically, it's going to end up leaving gaps larger than what the typical wallets use to find all the funds. That was one of the main issues I saw with using BTCPay other than concern about compromises and maintenance.
If I just took an xpub from a Trezor wallet and pasted that into BTCPay, it would work properly on the BTCPay end, but wallet frontends wouldn't find all funds since they use a limited search gap like 20 addresses, and I don't think there's a limit on how large the gap could be.

Yes. I know this. Best mitigated by running your own electrum server. I’m not suggesting this however.

No, It won’t.
PayNyms use stealth address tech. They’re not generating addresses way down the derivation path like BTCPayServer.

Makes sense but then I don't see how I can use it with Trezor. I'd need to do this separately with Samourai on a dedicated phone.

That's still not how PayNyms work, there's no such gaps like serving xpub derived addresses causes.
