      Hey everybody, I've launched a Patreon: https://patreon.com/mtracey  The aim is to produce podcasts, videos, and other forms of journalism using the funds received. More info at the link. Your support is appreciated! -MT

      If you prefer not to give through Patreon for whatever reason, PayPal link is here: https://www.paypal.me/mctracey  Patreon seems preferable because it sets up sustainability and reliability.

          And here's my bitcoin address: https://pastebin.com/QV5SjPr6  But again, the whole point of Patreon is that so you can project out the resources you'll have -- for planning purposes, etc.!

          For the people raising issues about Patreon censorship, I agree. It's cause for concern. But I think the best way to combat the censorious tendency of tech companies is to "fight from the inside." Same philosophy with Twitter, which has also behaved dubiously at times.

          Any specifics on what you might be offering using the money you receive via patreon? I know it's "podcasts, videos, interviews, and other forms of journalism" but could at least specify a general direction (what topics would the videos be on, etc.)

          Thank you for giving an alternative. You’re probably no fan of Sargon, but it is my opinion that Patreon should not have banned him. I enjoy contrasting thoughts in this strange time. Good luck with the podcasts, look forward to hearing it.

          I am against banning people willy-nilly from major platforms. However, I don't think the dubious treatment of one person would justify abandoning Patreon. Twitter/YouTube/every other major platform has also behaved dubiously at times, but that doesn't justify fleeing en masse

          Patreon is a corrupt organization.

          PO Box is the way to go. Cut out middlemen, don't support deplatformers in the process

      Loading seems to be taking a while.

      Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
