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

But I will probably have to cobble something together.

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.

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.

I've been rewatching Star Trek: TNG with my daughter (she's seen a lot of TNG episodes, but never watched it systematically until now).

We've reached s6, and that has some of the silliest episodes they ever did. It feels like that's when the momentum ran out after Roddenberry's death (perhaps he had been involved in decisions made for s5?).

Because we started to see a real lack of restraint in the writing at that point.
