Patreon is taking Reddit’s approach to content moderation
Free users will be able to participate in chats.
All Patreon content is subject to the company’s own guidelines, but different creators may have specific community rules, like a ban on posting spoilers — and having multiple moderators could help develop and enforce expectations. “This puts the power in creators’ hands to develop the dos and don’ts specific to their own authentic, nuanced communities,” the company wrote in a blog post. Apart from subscribing to creators on Patreon, being a fan means you might be chatting on Discord with other subscribers or buying digital products on Etsy or following a creator’s public posts on X. Patreon’s recent updates target those additional interactions through offerings like chat rooms, the ability to sell products natively, and free subscription tiers.
