    You’re already free to support developers and instance owners financially if they’ve set up either Patreon, OpenCollective or LiberaPay 🤷 That’s money going where it’s needed.

    If I understand SubClub correctly, it’s monetisation on a user level, which in the past has only really given us influencers. I rather enjoy not having that kind of bullshit on the fediverse.

      I’m not sure what the difference between SubClub or Patreon is supposed to be. Other than SubClub takes a smaller cut.

        That’s exactly what I thought when I first saw this. The difference in that they market it as a fediverse extension.
