Gonna pop the ThreadReader link here for those who don't want to log into Twitter: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1691693740254228741.html

On the Floatplane thing, I am a bit worried for DankPods, who put a lot of backing into Floatplane after he got screwed over by Twitch. This whole thing might have some collateral damage towards the other creators on there, including him. Was considering subscribing to Floatplane for him and his drum streams before this.

I may not agree with a lot of things Madison does as a content creator, but what she's described in that thread is absolutely egregious. This goes so far beyond "trust me bro", and is already bathing in the gas that the company is actively lighting under them. Makes me wonder what kind of NDA and contract all of them have, to keep it hush-hush. I'm worried for the people there

DankPods is the only reason why I'd consider using Floatplane, but I've already been a Patron of his for a long time and could just up my tier sub if I wanted to support him more, which I may do if this effects his streams.

Thank you for this, I don't normally use twitter but I read some people saying the Threadreader app wasn't up to date with all the comments.

Ah shit, I forgot how much dank went in on floatplane

Maybe Dankpods can get into the Nebula sphere instead.

Ha, Nebula is not the answer, either. It's a gated community that doesn't even have a way to sign up as an uploader. They expect you to make it on YouTube first before they consider moving to their network, and then you're doomed to constantly advertise for Nebula for the rest of your career.
