Dev & I don't use any of Patreon's features. We also don't always read up on all of the garbage that they keep adding.

Their latest feature is a sort of autopilot which allows them to promote your creator account for you, by sending backers emails, to ask them to upgrade their pledge...

Neither of us knew this thing existed. Why the fuck is this sort of thing not opt-in only?! Sorry to those that got emails mentioning offers from our account :/... we've deactivated them all now.

@rek I'm hoping I can find a non-corporate approach to this soon. Something that is in some way enshittification-proof.

@kboyd @rek

Was just talking to @atomicpoet about some form of co-op owned Patreon replacement? It would still be subject to the whims of other members, but at least not corporate overlords.
