They banned someone for words said off-platform when their terms of service (as clarified by their CEO) say they only look at things you post to your Patreon. They lied about the context of what this person said to make it look like racism (it wasn't), said he hadn't engaged with the appeals process (he had) and said he had previously been warned (he hadn't). I could go on, but this was a *nakedly* political act and many people completely unrelated to the situation are leaving on principle.

In fairness, Patreon banned people using hate speech aimed at various groups. It's only political if people want to make it so.

I know it sucks and I'm sorry, but I'm hopeful that stable and more resilient alternatives will become available in the coming weeks.

yeah, with alternatives I meant other platform just like patreon, but less strict, with subscription-like donation an such.

Not exactly. Crowndfunding device in this mode, maybe, but there are other ways to fund a creator without Patreon. A direct paypal account for example. StudioFOW is also creating their own donation system in their website, like Timcast did, and I heard of a couple other solutions like cryptocurrency. Yes, they aren't as neat and easy to use like Patreon, but they are possible and you remove the middle man. Alternatively, you can wait for an alternative, as J Peterson said he would make at the begin of next year (which I'm not sure if you'll be able fund adult projects with it). Patreon is a sinking ship, get woke, go broke in action.
