We're just a few dollars shy of breaking even and have been for a few months.

Unless you crack down on free speech. Namely right wing speech, conspiracy theories, discussion of uncomfortable statistics, and scientific facts - essentially any challenge to the current mainstream narratives you will get deplatformed from Patreon.

If you plan to die on the free speech hill you should make backup funding plans and create a legal Trust to defend the domain from seizure attempts - or just decide now to make such speech unwelcome so it's not a problem for you later.

I say this to you as someone that is a regular poster on Voat, and Gab, and have seen the trials and tribulations both platforms have gone through for refusing to deplatform people speaking against things they don't like in our current society.

I'm about as far right as you can go; but I'll gladly keep such discussions away from here if this place can eventually grow into a non-pozzed place to discuss topics like hobbies.

The deplatforming is a concern, but that's why we have all those cryptocurrency donation options available.

We don't want this place to be as far right as voat, we kind of hope to hit more of a centrist middle-ground between reddit and voat. That's the group that doesn't really have a place to speak their mind, so that's why we created saidit.

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.

I notice extreme leftist and rightist ...they are somehow psychos and I think they use the politics to cover up themselves are psychos, they are very aggressive, and they know how to justify their aggressiveness under the term "politic".I think they just want to attack.
