Transparency Check - Discord Access

Added 2021-11-18 05:37:04 +0000 UTC

Hi Everyone! I hope your week is going well!

Straight into it, if that's okay.

So, in my backend management work, I found a discord bot that will let me, essentially, create and charge for tiers directly on Discord. Cool. Neat. I'm not leaving Patreon.

But it does get my little business brain wheels turning, and, I have concocted a plan to sell one off tickets to the monthly Discord live streams, in a larger plot to secure the bag, as I am told I must do to feel great success and victory. Am I doing it right yet, Capitalism Daddy?

So, what does this mean for you, as a patron?

Hopefully not much?

I have the ability to limit these public tiers in an almost a brutal fashion; They will be able to listen in and react to chat with emojis, but direct chat will remain a patron only feature, as will: access to the live event recordings; access to the Lush; access to all the chat channels that are not Live Event specific.

If you have any questions or concerns or suggestions around this, please feel free to reach out in the comments or privately, through the DMs.

I didn't feel comfortable making this change without explaining it, as the Discord server is still new and I don't want to step on toes, in some unforeseen way. This feels like a fair compromise to me as I think, the biggest highlight of Discord is telling me to my metaphysical face, I'm a dumb slut* and that should be a benefit reserved for my patrons.

*It's a pretty big highlight for me anyway.

For my Nibbles, if the discord nights interest you, but you aren't sure about them, I would recommend upgrading to the Munch Tier for December! I plan to do a holiday event of some kind and those are for the full server, and then you can check out a movie night hang out and listen to all those Friday releases I keep putting out.... It's a much better bang for your buck than just doing the discord tier ticket thing. JUST A THOUGHT

All of this will go into action for December so we can enjoy our time alone together this month.

Uhhhhhh.... that's all. Thank you! Bye....
