Good morning!

YouTube adware is by far the largest funding offering for video content creators. But Patreon isn't far behind when you looked at Canadian Civil's audience specifically.

Pateron offers private blogs, private RSS feeds and more. The content can be delivered both publicly and privately to specific groups of contributors.

Let's get Patreon incorporated into the fediverse!

[box464@mastodon.social]

So far, not much interest from Patreon to do this. Should we setup an alternative? Some already exist.

And some have come and gone, like SubClub.

PeerTube has recently added the ability to incorporate funding options into channels as well.

Hey y'all stepping away for lunch (so it FediMTL) and I'll be back in about an hour.

Be sure to check out the #FediMTL hashtag and the FediWall, too.

[box464@mastodon.social]

#FediMTL starting back up in about 5 minutes. Up next, "Rethinking the journalism model". Oooh it's in French. Hmm....

[box464@mastodon.social]

I'm not going to pretend I can understand what is being said, but let me give you a background from the official FediMTL site for this discussion:

"A reflection on the future of journalism in the age of algorithms, exploring information sovereignty, media independence, and the transformation of news platforms."

I'm gonna try this live translation thing with my apple headphones.

The speaker is @catouma

[box464@mastodon.social]

Oh..live translations on iPhone is pretty cool. I need to learn how to use this better. Still not going to make comments and quotes until I feel more confident in how this works.

[julian@activitypub.space]

@box464@mastodon.social oh I've been wanting to try that too! Especially if I'm going to be attending other conferences in non-English speaking countries.

@hongminhee@hollo.social mentioned something like this too, earlier when he was at FOSDEM 🙂

Wonder if it's available on Android and runs locally on my phone? That'd be best...
