We’ve moved our internal communications from Discord to Zulip at Mastodon, and I think there are plans to do the same for our Patreon community Discord.

@Gargron Not happy about that Patreon statement though .

From my PoV I am paying Patreons share. I roughly know what is deducted and select my tier accordingly.

And for me it is worth the money.

I am backing 25+ projects with Mastodon receiving one of the larger backings (since April 2017, my 10-year-anniversary is around the corner).

I have no chance to track my patronages if those are distributed over dozens of services.

@Gargron
anonymity is part of privacy, and privacy is a human right.

@masek so you're actively arguing for a monopoly on donation processing? @Gargron

[draeath@infosec.exchange]

@Gargron @lefteristrip23 this may be relevant (not like using discord was better, heh)

@Gargron Scan away, I have nothing to hide.

@grishka @Gargron @sam they cant, they tried to do it to 4chan and essentially got told to roll it up and stuff it up the rah

[thatordinaryjoe@mastodon.social]

@Gargron I didnt even know about this oh god, what do I even do?

@Gargron @verge hey @proprietor

[siff@mstdn.social]

@Gargron @briankrebs Discord never “clicked” for me, not to mention their “security” and “verification” measures that required to provide a phone number to “verify” me. I had to use it in several cases and these experiences only reaffirmed my feelings about it.

[gilbus@metalhead.club]

@Gargron @zulip rocks! Great choice

[kdude@mastodon.social]

@Gargron finally... i never understood the choice for Discord in the first place.

Zulip seems US-based unfortunately, so not very trustworthy in the long run. Hopefully you will at least self host Zulip then, and not use the US cloud...
