If you support folks on Patreon, make sure you start your subscription on the website rather than via the Patreon app, since in-app payments are subject to extra payment processing fees (itโ€™s *especially* bad on iOS but Android does it too).

Better yet, donโ€™t use dedicated apps for things that should be websites, and also consider using support platforms that care more about actually supporting folks, like ko-fi. Patreon ultimately only cares about how much money comes into Patreon.

@fluffy Mastodon has a really good mobile site and I use it instead of the app.

(Probably 80% of apps.)

Thank you! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

@richardrathe @fluffy Mood. Especially since websites now have access to all sorts of things, like location.
@fluffy If you have to have an โ€œappโ€ on your iPhone, you can open patreon.com in Safari and Add to Home Screen.
@fluffy patreon keeps nagging me to install the app but I don't want the app โ€‹โ€‹
@fluffy patreon doesn't care. I'm not gonna forget when they kicked off all the babyfurs. furry artists shouldn't forget either.
@robinsyl oh yeah definitely, I'm not a fan of Patreon and I wish literally any alternative would catch on in more than a trivial capacity.
