☭ @fabianhjr@sunbeam.cityLets ditch #Patreon for a Worker Coop!
Half the fees of Patreon Lite (2.5% vs 5%) and be featured among and support other comrades. #Comradery / #ComraderyCo
> Comradery membership is designed for independent creators, workers, and activists, and cooperatively-owned organizations (referred to from here on as ‘Creators’) who need a place to connect with their audiences and supporters to raise a monthly income.
Just signed up. UwU
Subscribe to donate monthly to comradery.co and signed up to become a creator.
#comradery sounds awsome! I wish them a food start and lasting success!
@fabianhjr creators is a terrible word, as it invokes a "divine right of authorship" (ala divine right of kings...) class separating between privileged "producers" and lowly "consumers". It touches other right-wing themes, like "job creators". This seems a poor start to an otherwise great idea.
@tychosoft not sure if trolling but if it is an honest critique: It is a prevalent usage in similar platforms (Patreon, Liberapay)
Eg, Liberapay:
> Are you a >creator< of commons? Do you make free art, spread free knowledge, write free software? Or something else that can be funded by recurrent donations?
If such a critique does gain momentum it could be changed by the coop.
@tychosoft I have seen right-wingers on bikes but wouldn't say bike are inherently right-wing.
Bed @fabianhjr I really wanna get setup on this but it errors every time I create an account :(
@squeakypancakes Ah, they were having some issues:
