That's a good point! I've edited my previous comment for accuracy!

Just because I was curious which platform takes the smallest cut:

• Patreon takes 8%, plus payment processing (I assume another 3-5%). Let's call it 11%.
• Buy Me a Coffee seems to take 5%, and Stripe takes 2.9%. Basically 8%.
• Liberapay apparently takes 0% themselves, but 3-5% goes to payment processing through Stripe or Paypal. The site is funded by people who directly support the Liberapay account itself lmao. So 3% puts them in the clear lead.

I know Patreon is basically a household name at this point, but if you're open to a bit of change I'd encourage folks to use Liberapay!

tea, 10 months ago to nostupidquestions in Don't you agree that individuals that went back to reddit are the same type that don't want to stick to different stuff assuming that everyone else has done their research?

I'd disagree. I pop open kbin.social first, and now Artemis second. When I get bored of those, I go to YouTube, Instagram, and Reddit. I'm giving the fediverse priority for my leisure attention, but there just isn't an endless supply of interesting content on the fediverse yet.

It's improving slowly as the Fediverse grows and as I dial in my communities, but it'll be a while before it's able to fully hold its own (for me).
