More tier changes and life updates
Added 2018-09-23 13:47:08 +0000 UTCHello folks,
sorry for the blackout.
First of all, I am going to update my tiers a little. Things will give you more reward per higher tiers and I am going to make a "thank you" tier.
Now to a few life changes though:
I moved my social presence mostly onto Mastodon!
You can find me mostly under @maxinered@queer.party (https://queer.party/maxinered). I also have my own instance under https://social.mootech.eu/.
I am more active on Mastodon now and in the progress of moving ebooks onto it too! They still remain on Twitter, but get a mirror on Mastodon.
That's also what most changes in Tiers are related to.
So I decided to make ebooks subscription based and tie them to tiers.
There will be tiers, that are for other purposes, but the higher once are for ebooks.
The biggest concern is server cost here. To run the instance and the ebooks, I have to spend more money. This are fixed costs.
Also ebooks are somewhat moderated. If you have an issue, let me know and I fix it. That's time on my end, that needs compensation.
The server costs alone is what pledges will be mostly used for though.
For information on new pledge tiers:
- below $5 will be support only and you get access to discord, but nothing more.
- $5 will be a Mastodon ebook
- $10 will a Twitter ebook
- if you want both a Mastodon and Twitter ebooks, that's $15 (combined $5 + $10)
There will also be slot limitations for both services. Mastodon will be much higher, as I run more of a risk to lose everything on Twitter, if I have too many.
The elevated cost for Twitter is also two-folded: I have increased maintenance there for bots and also out of the reason slots are in place.
Additionally, I am working on a web interface for mootech, which will ease working with ebooks and also ordering new ones.
These are all the changes for now. I let you know if more things come up.
Thank you for reading! <3
