IMPORTANT: Post Update Priority Change (2020)
Added 2019-12-27 15:15:10 +0000 UTCApplies to: All Patrons
Effective December 27, 2019, all updates, along with extras, will debut on Discord first on their respective channels, and later published over here (within hours or days).
This does not mean content is exclusive to Discord. For those who choose not to connect to the Patreon Channels, the same content will make its way to Patreon eventually.
In fact, in the case of platform differences, one will be prioritized over the other, such as videos (Discord-favored) and polls (Patreon-Exclusive) .
Reasons
- Voted in favor by patrons for the switch.
- Allows me to send rewards in a more immediate matter. The earliest revisions are presented in preparation for the Patreon/Social Media posts.
- Straightforward Accessibility. Because it is immediately accessible to most if not all my patrons, Discord is the perfect gateway to allow my patrons to enjoy my content as it happens; straightforward, immediately, and without risking missing it out!
- Community Building. Perhaps one of my bigger weaknesses and gripes is getting in touch with my community (especially patrons) regarding updates outside of post updates and Twitter announcements.
- Future-Proofing (and cross-platform friendly). Because of certain changes that has me worried in the general social media movements, including bans and selective algorithms that impede my content or their links, I will be using Discord as an extra layer for my content and community in 2020.
- Was this list necessary? Probably not but I did it anyway.
This will be one of the bigger changes that will be done in preparation for 2020. In any case any major update happens I will be making those posts over here and on Discord alike.
See ya soon!
