@fluffy@queer.party I have been making sure to do the responsible thing for supporting folks and seeing if I can get them on liberapay or alternatively find other ways to support them
Most folks have paypal too so that's usually a good way to keep supporting them while something else that doesn't wring patrons and creators out comes along (fingers crossed for Drip)
@vahnj @fluffy@queer.party Not that I want to hamstring anybody, but Paypal puts monty into Peter Thiel's pocket, and I can't think of a bigger quisling in the modern era.
@vahnj @fluffy@queer.party That's fair, and I don't want to create a situation in which people who need help can't get help. I just want to call attention to the ways in which our systems of support are hurting us so we can look for better alternatives. No ethical consumption, poison or starvation, et cetera, but... at least we can try, maybe.
@fluffy@queer.party @vahnj Immediate safety over long-term safety, please. Always. Just, let's try to not forget about our long-term goals as we work towards our short-term survival.
@literorrery @fluffy@queer.party there's that of course and he's a giant heck
But on the flip side it's much less costly at this point and I don't know any other alternatives that most people will have v_v
