Important Poll
Added 2024-03-16 21:11:06 +0000 UTCHey all, I'm not sure you've seen the latest hubbub but patreon looks like its getting puritanical again. They have changed the guidelines so any adult art must depict consent. This is ridiculous and means they can ban any adult work on a whim. So I've got to consider moving to a different membership site.
If I do move it would be a complete move as I don't want to have to update two different membership sites. I'd like to move to https://reamstories.com/ which is built from the ground up for web fiction but it would require most of you to make a new account there.
The Question is: If I move will you follow?
Edit: clarifying the specific reason.

Just sorta seems like where most people getting the boot from Patreon are going

2024-03-19 03:32:30 +0000 UTCI mean yah, can't say I'm keen to make another site either but I don't have much of a choice.

2024-03-17 16:46:18 +0000 UTCI'm mildly curious about the new site and think I will switch but might need some encouragement. I don't think I know any other creators on that platform yet, which makes it a harder sell. If I knew a few more people it might be a definite yes but for now its a strong maybe.

2024-03-17 01:52:37 +0000 UTCUltimately I can't be 100% on that. Currently Ream is privately owned and the founders have said they have no intention to take the company public. So they don't have that pressure to change at least. The community guidelines explicitly state furry erotica is permitted. Reckon it will be at least 5 years before they're big enough for credit card companies start bullying them to moderate. Their guidelines are here: https://reamstories.com/policy/content-guidelines
Mr Nibz
2024-03-16 23:31:49 +0000 UTCNot opposed to moving out, but how can you be sure that this issue / or another one will not be raised on reamstories and lead to another change?

2024-03-16 23:17:01 +0000 UTCThey've updated thier policy to disallowing dubcon or noncon in any form. Enforcement is spotty of course but I'd rather not wake up to a ban.

2024-03-16 21:38:29 +0000 UTCWhat's the news on Patreon? I heard about the gumroad stuff but don't know if this is related
