Now patreon is enshittifying. They sure don't mind taking their cut from people whose model is shoving things inside themselves though.

Any reliable alternatives you know of?

[โ€“] humanoidchaos@lemmy.cif.su 0 points 14 hours ago

We should normalize just sending them money directly through crypto.

Why have more middlemen than we need? It it because we're idiots getting taken for a ride?

I know what I'll put my money on, every time.

maybe liberapay, but they too depend of payment processors like stripe and paypal

But that is just monero isn't it? When I say alternative I mean feature parity.

[โ€“] cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

When it's Visa, Mastercard, and the banks and governments responsible for fiat money itself who are cracking down, you're going to get exactly the "feature parity" you're asking for anywhere that is using that money. It's time to start looking into alternative currencies if you want to escape their control.

"Monero, it's not just for criminals anymore" (or maybe it is, because they're trying to make us all criminals if we don't adhere to their definition of "moral purity")

Ah, yeah. Kuno is Monero only
