Due to immense public reaction, I reworked it.

@Dakotastomp96 @satori If you do all the work outside of Fanbox and keep it only for supporter perks or similar, it will work great. Pixiv will tell you to NOT link to any site where people can see your stuff uncensored through Fanbox or Pixiv itself, but they don't care if you do have somewhere where people can see your work uncensored, so I bet you can work out with your supporters to create a workflow where everyone ends happy.

@Dakotastomp96 @satori Fanbox does that now. Ci-en does something similar as well.

@chiefraub :blobuwu:

@Dakotastomp96 @satori In the end, they allow you to withdraw your money at any time without fees if you use PayPal, so I suggest going for it even if you're unsure. If you end up running into any issue or just get fed with them, you can just delete all the tiers, withdraw the money and move on without worries. Ci-en on the other side, is way more problematic. They banned my account for completely unrelated reasons a while ago and I still have money sitting there I can do nothing about.

@Dakotastomp96 @satori I heard people get banned from Patreon if they find out the work that is being supported has relation to stuff they don't allow. Catbox itself had their account banned from it (and Ko-fi) despite not hosting anything in their site. Subscribestart never activated my account even after months and several e-mails, never answered any of my e-mails either. Fanbox works for me and it seems they're trying their best to keep it that way.

@Dakotastomp96 @satori I don't know, I like the subscription format and Fanbox works for me. Fanbox has several issues like no dark mode, the articles are in a weird format instead of using markdown or just plain html, I don't know if they made it thinking of phones but there's this insistence in scrolling instead of having more elegant options like Fantia and Ci-en, etc. But it allows me to connect with my supporters beyond the platform itself, so it gets the job done overall.

@Dakotastomp96 @satori It might sound a bit too stiff, I used to think so when they suspended my account for using "loli" tags, but tags and etc are useless for reach in Fanbox, and Pixiv will let you post and use any word you want as long as the work itself is censored. They will also be very lenient instead of just outright banning you if you mess up, I got a post suspended once because I forgot to add censorship, but my accounts are still alive despite multiple suspensions.

@Dakotastomp96 @satori (Even if the content itself was still censored) I think the chances of someone opening your Fanbox page to find your links is very unlikely, so I'd just link to X or BlueSky instead and have all the links there.

@Dakotastomp96 @satori It's kinda weird because Fanbox and Pixiv are from the same company, but they're not the same. I've had posts being completely ignored by moderation on Pixiv and then suspended on Fanbox (They suspend only the post and tell you to change, if you do, they bring it back). Then I feel like moderation is more worried about what's public in your account than what's hidden under a paywall, so some stuff can go under the radar. It's Japanese, it doesn't work, but it does lol.
