This is partly why we have cryptocurrency donations for saidit. Gives us multiple options if patreon decides to pull the rug out from under us

Yikes, I had no idea Saidit utilized patreon until I saw your comment. To be honest my immediate, admittedly paranoid reaction was to delete the post out of concern for the site. Then, I didn't. That my first thought was to self-censor out of fear of reprisal precisely exemplifies the chilling effect that online censorship and deplatforming is having on public discourse. I love Saidit. What you and D3rr have created is awesome. It is, in my humble opinion, a bright shining beacon of hope for what the internet was supposed to be. Bitcoins are on the way.

Also FWIW, may I suggest looking into subscribestar? I know nothing about them other than a number of alt. media content creators have moved to them recently as an alternative fundraising platform.

Nice to hear your words. I agree there's no real reason to delete your post. I'm glad you like what we've made here and we very much appreciate any support you send our way.

I'll take a look at subscribestar, thanks.
