      Nooooooo, I would seek an alternative especially with the horrible behavior of patreon recently.

      I deleted a tweet some understood as my labeling Sargon alt-right. Whatever you label him as, why would the treatment of him alone justify fleeing the platform en masse? I'm not in favor of censorship, but Twitter, FB, YouTube, and every other platform has also censored.

          The best argument I've seen is that arbitrary application of policy, or personally retributive corporate behavior never just burns a single individual. It sets a very worrying precedent regardless of how you feel about Sargon.

          And the reason people single out patreon is because they are a payment network connected to banks and processors, so the assumption is their enforcement is more structured, documented, and even handed.

          I deleted my @Patreon account because of their censorship but I will try to throw Michael some bitcoin next time I'm at the bitcoin Atm because I really appreciate his work a lot. It's not that hard to transfer bitcoin just expensive...

          It's not just patreons treatment of Sargon, it's their treatment of a handful of people and them having a TOS that they seem to have no issues breaking.

          Patreon has declared unequivocally they do not support free speech and that they are pro-censorship. They, like most platforms, have closed ranks and have unilaterally decided what will be acceptable speech and Wrongthink

          Because it was the last straw and we're done. Enough is enough. Let them be a social justice platform but they won't get any business from many of us.
