Is someone working on a fediverse #patreon alternative?
I probably need to read @evan book to see how possible this is.
I’m imagining something that would take payments from supporters. Creators could publish across different fediverse services « To supporters » which would private post the stuff to them.
Just start with one or two services that you get onboard by sharing a small payment processing fee between fedipatreon and the services used.
I don’t know how dumb this is, but I really like Patreon. Being able to give nice supportive people an exclusive video or a post about what you’re thinking about is a really wholesome arrangement. It seems like a good fit with this place. Solving this problem could get a nice revenue stream going for both the developers of, and the creators using these fediverse services.
@paige If you are running your own website you can be your own middle man with a Woocommerce plugin if you're running on a self hosted Wordpress site. It might require a paid subscription on your end or a 3rd party plugin. You don't necessarily need to fediverse it.
@paige to be completely honest, the issue seems to be less about having something that can functionally do it, and earning the trust of your subscribers when you don't have that platform branding. :T
