   I still like #Patreon , but I'd like to use it more as a service than a platform.

   There is an official Wordpress plugin for Patreon that would let me move my posting directly to my production log, but I think it's exclusive to Patreon.

   Ideally, I would have the means to allow people to subscribe on multiple platforms (Patreon, Ko-Fi, Gumroad, PayPal direct subscriptions) for the same membership benefits on the server -- and I'd also be able to include that as a perk for contributors.

     There should be some aggregator service that passes on to the particular donation / payment service as a proxy, and has a consolidated UI for a person's presentation, to give attribution and thanks, etc.

     I wonder if there is some practical way to set this up? I've never been too happy about the fact that I have this blog for patrons that contributors to the project can't see unless they also pay.

     Also, I don't really like being tied to a single platform like that.

     Was reminded by today's news about #Patreon ditching their security team, which seems a bit worrying.

     Yeah. Extra points if it's open source software and has a YunoHost package! ???

     But I will probably have to cobble something together.
