The bitcoin address in the parent thread should be linked via BIP 0021 i.e. "bitcoin:1C4Q1RvUb3bzk4aaLVgGccnSnaHYFdESzY" so that users do not have to copy paste, especially on mobile. Doing this will make it easy for users to donate. Additionally the links to each of the exchanges should have this as well if possible to also allow users to easily donate.
The bitcoin URN is device and wallet agnostic and clicking the link will open the users preferred wallet to donate quickly and easily.

I don't know much about Bitcoin, but someone once told me you should never use the same address twice, isn't there a way to generate a new address for everyone who wants to donate? Or is it not that important in this case?
It's a good rule of thumb to not reuse addresses, but you can get away with it as long as you understand the repercussions.
Voat's address reuse is not ideal, but it's kind of nice because we can share the address around, or put it in the sidebar. If they had a proper donation page, then it would be good practice to avoid reusing addresses.
