@einebiene it should lead to the particular comment in that thread where the claim about #Patreon was made

strypey

Apparently #Patreon charges users $1 per month to be allowed to post comments on their site. Fascinating ...

I wish #Patreon was not #JavaScrippled. It is enough to ask me to visit a site to give you money without asking me to change browser settings to do so. And, no, I am not aware of an alternative that doesn't require #JavaScript to even view the site, but if I was, I'd be more likely to support you through that site.

@Gargron #Twitter became evil when its growth necessitated massive investments by venture finance type organizations. The challenge of growth for the #fediverse is going to be trying to spread users over more instances and keeping those instances smaller, instead of having most of them clump together in a few larger instances.

At large enough scale, the larger instances will face exactly the same pressures and choices that Twitter faced. There won't be enough #Patreon funders to sustain that.

This is a really important time to push free and open source alternatives to #Patreon! I've considered using @Liberapay, but was afraid I had to use Patreon to get the network effect.

Please tell people about #Liberapay, post about it on Reddit (r/patreon), vote it up on Alternativeto, etc https://alternativeto.net/software/liberapay/

Please boost! This kind of opportunity to topple a near monopoly with FLOSS does not come often!
Are there other FLOSS #crowdfunding platforms?

Patreon Caves to Tim Pool and the Alt-Right, Bans 'Its Going Down' Website
– 'Despite the picture painted by Conte, Patreon has deactivated our account due to pressure from the Alt-Right – full stop. As we will show, Patreon has acted with a complete lack of professionalism; it not only broke under pressure from the Alt-Right but moreover used information handed to them from a group which openly embraces white supremacy and fascism, and lastly, it has sent a message to everyone that uses and donates on Patreon, that if you papaya off the Alt-Right, you might be next...'

I am slightly uneased by the extreme increase of #Patreon advertisement in the !fediverse recently (since #Mastodon). What is this, a feudalverse?

@bthall I'm not sure #hashtags work yet in #Mastodon. I know they're in the plan, but @gargron is the sole developer right now. (BTW, he's doing this full-time, so you'll see his #Patreon link from time to time.)
