??? this isn’t how this works. If you’re trying to make an account on Beehaw, go sign up for one. If you want to access Beehaw with your existing account, you’re already doing that right now. Really not understanding what this post hopes to accomplish

My main issue with Liftoff is that I can’t save images. That’s a huge deal breaker for me

No

No, it’s automated via Patreon as well.

I’m confused, this changes nothing for most users. All this does is allow creators that use Patreon tiers to grant certain roles in Discord to do this entirely through Discord. If you’re not in one of these servers, this probably won’t affect you.

Even if you are, it’s still barely a change

No one really has an issue with Reddit charging for API access. It’s the insane amount they’re asking for, the small window of time they gave devs to require monetization, and the fact that the API would no longer provide all content that is the problem.

The stuff you mention is bad too, but it’s hardly the first issue here

Discord has been making a lot of bad decisions lately but imo this isn’t one of them. It’s not like they’re forcing every server to setup paid channels.

Currently, many creators have Patreons setup and allow varying levels of access to their Discord servers based on Patreon tiers. Literally all this change does is give creators the option to do this entirely through Discord rather than using Patreon.

This is nothing new. Just a slightly different way to handle monetization.
