Tattle Life, an online gossip forum that targets influencers and celebrities, which has been described as "the most toxic place on the internet," may be on its last legs. An Irish couple, Neil and Donna Sands, sued the site for hosting defamatory and harassing commentary about them and unveiled the founder as a vegan influencer and author called Sebastian Bond (who also used the name Helen McDougal). Cosmopolitan explains the site's background, how much money Bond was making from it, and how he was brought to justice.

Do you agree with this statement (it's my personal take):
- The majority of people who say Open Source software cannot be used for professional work, have never tried to use Open Source software for professional work.
Interested to hear your thoughts.
P.S. do you use Open Source software for professional work? Share your pipeline in the comments

This podcast is for the #creators! We break down the daily routine of a full-time creator — it me! What time do I get up? How much sleep? What happens before creation-phase. What happens during? After? How do I create and simultaneously run a small business? YMMV, this is how we do it.

The inestimable @catvalente@mastodon.world has a post up describing in detail the ways in which #Patreon's most recent set of changes screw #creators. tl,dr: Most Patreon creators' Patreon income just dropped by 30% with no changes to subscriptions. Almost a third of their Patreon income: POOF, overnight. And this is ON TOP of the previous set of changes Patreon made that also screwed creators.
It's even worse, I understand, if you use the Patreon app. And worse yet if you use it on iOS. Because if you use the Patreon app on iOS, Apple extracts a 30% vigorish as well, and Patreon subscriptions through the iOS app additionally face a ridiculous 75 day hold. Nearly three months during which Patreon earns interest on your money before passing about two thirds of it on to the creator you're trying to #support.
This impacts every creator on Patreon.
What can you do?
Don't subscribe through the Patreon app.
Don't subscribe through the Patreon app.
Don't subscribe through the Patreon app.
I'll repeat that one more time for people who didn't get it: Do. Not. Subscribe. To anyone. Via the Patreon. App. There is nothing about the Patreon app that is good except for Patreon's owners. If you have an existing subscription via the app, consider at the very least canceling it, WAITING FOR THE BILLING CYCLE TO EXPIRE, and the re-subscribing using a web browser.
The viability of Patreon is diminishing fast. Greed is once again killing the golden goose. Patreon started out as a way to support creators. Now the creators are the product. There are other platforms for supporting creators — KoFi, Libera Pay, to name two — but forklift-migrating entire communities wholesale to them is not easy.
What else can you do?
If you want to support a creator, ask what platform is best for them. They may have their own subscription page that does not use Patreon. (Randy Cassingham of This Is True, for example.) If you use Patreon, do not use the Patreon app to subscribe. Open the site in a browser and subscribe that way.
Not everything on the internet is real. Case in point: Your relationship with OnlyFans creators, it turns out. Two former subscribers from Illinois are suing the company because they thought they were talking directly to the platform’s stars rather than agencies hired to manage their messages. @404mediaco’s Samantha Cole explains more [Story may be paywalled].
