I built a custom platform for joinmastodon.org sponsorships on the gold/platinum tiers (those are the ones that get a medium-sized logo/link on joinmastodon.org) using Stripe.

I don't think the Patreon tiers are going anywhere but this alternative method has some advantages over Patreon for both parties. (I'll go into more detail in a follow-up post)

The billing cycle isn't bound to the 1st of the month, so you have no risk of being double-charged if you pledge near the end of the month; if you're a business in the EU you can use your VAT number to not get charged VAT; there's an annual billing option with a 10% discount; uploading your logo is more straightforward than having to message or e-mail me. And on my side, Stripe takes far less in fees than Patreon (~2.5% vs 10%).

Side note, I am curious if a platform like that would be useful to anyone else. I don't know how many projects or creators use the link-as-reward model to which my code is tailored. I could open-source it if there's genuine demand...

@Gargron könntest du das bitte auch nochmal auf Deutsch allen Erklären und nicht nur in Englisch. Denn sonst werden einige das nicht so aufnehmen können. Und zum zweiten es gibt auch noch andere Sprachen wie Englisch. das es hier um eine Auszeichnung geht. Alles gut und schön. Trotzdem muss das ganze nicht beim Rätselraten bleiben. Das wäre nett und auch denen gegenüber Gerecht die kein Englisch mögen und sich nicht damit beschäftigen möchten.
