WTL@davidrevoy Right now the Patreon link only shows /webcomic options. They're just changing those to monthly?
@WTL Good question 👍
The change will take effect on Patreon on 12 January. Until then, the page still shows 'per-content'.
This is because I have decided to give one month's notice to allow my patrons to adjust their budgets. (Don't worry though: I won't release the 'per-content' mechanism during this period.)
Numerfolt@davidrevoy Which of the 'links takes the smallest fee? Or does it not matter?
@Numerfolt Liberapay. This is because it doesn't have the 5% fee that Patreon and Tipeee take.
(To fund Liberapay, you have to support them... on Liberapay.)

@davidrevoy Okay, I looked at their FAQ and basically there are the transaction fees that I pay? Like I send you 1€ per month and pay some cents so you can get the full €?
And I can donate to them too, which is nice.

@Numerfolt Yes, this is exact. Thank you

:EA DATA. SF:@davidrevoy @Numerfolt maybe I should just use liberapay instead like I do for my Fediverse instance.
Edit: I switched to Liberapay.
jeromeg@davidrevoy +1 on liberapay

Fred@davidrevoy if you have to stop all freelance work, does that mean, that you have to stop working with Framasoft and PeerTube?😬😱
@fr3d Unfortunately, that's one of the side effect; I wrote them an email in October about it. I'm still around as a volunteer contributor now, but it is clearly not the same time budget. 😔
@davidrevoy while it's perfectly understandable from the business side, it's still a pity. I'd pay extra just for securing the future of Peertube and Framasoft artwork. Apart from all your other great work. 🙂
Richard Hendricks@davidrevoy Thanks for all you do. Upped to $10. 🙂
@hendric 💜 Thank you a lot!
Tywèle@davidrevoy do you prefer monthly or yearly payments? And which site do you prefer to get paid on?
@Tywele Monthly or yearly? It certainly will depend on how much you pay in fees when you transfer money. If your bank charges high fees, it may be better to transfer money in one lump sum. If the fees are small or zero, monthly payments are great.
My preferred platform is Liberapay because the creator and admin are on Mastodon and the platform doesn't take 5%.
Thank you 💜
Paul Jewell@davidrevoy Hi David! I heard your interview on #HPR and really appreciate your stance on licencing and using Open Source tooling. Moreover, once I found your content, I think it's excellent. I had planned to go and subscribe but hadn't done so, so this thread is a great reminder - thank you! Having read your FAQ on your webpage, I will use liberapay, so you get as much of the donation as possible. Best of luck with the developing adventure!
@paul_j Thank you very much Paul for your words and your support! 💜
Notus@davidrevoy cheer up! We'll keep supporting your amazing and generous work. Your transparency is as always very much appreciated. One quick question: does this change will also apply on Liberapay? Youention Tipee and Patron, but if we support you through Liberapay on per-content basis, shall we switch to monthly?
@Notus Thank you very much for your support! 💜
Liberapay always prefered (from the start) to not include a per-content system. So, since I have the account (back in 2017) I receive 'weekly' donation on it.
Liberapay allows me to download a table with the donation amount and date, and so, with a little table-math I can convert this into a monthly thing and merge the names on the credit ( I'm trying to standardize this to https://www.peppercarrot.com/ext/credits-and-tiers.jpg )
Albert Westra@davidrevoy I will probably move over to librepay since you are the only creator I support on Patreon. I also like the idea of you getting my full support instead of partial payment.
I'm surprised that you didn't do month to month sooner cause of your new web comic. It's always daunting having to go from freelance, to your own thing, but if you have to step away for a bit due to burnout, don't be afraid to take a break. I'll still support you regardless.
@odysseywestra 💜 Thank you Albert!
