Patreon removing the go live feature
Added 2019-01-16 20:43:03 +0000 UTCJust got some bad news. Patreon are removing the go live feature, which is what we use to do the live typed AMA's here on patreon with the host.
We will look for suitable alternatives, if any of you have suggestions, let us know in the comments.

2019-01-23 10:06:05 +0000 UTCHi Roxy, Patreon removed the go live feature we used for typed AMAs. But we will come up with a solution to keep doing them. As a $5 patron, you'll still get the monthly recorded AMA's. There will be no change to those. They are released as audio files, like the episodes.

2019-01-23 07:30:09 +0000 UTCIt's a feature that creators can use for a perk yes, so we were very disappointed to hear they are removing it. But the reason given was that only a small percentage of creators were using the feature, so it wasn't worth keeping. We'll come up with an alternative though.

2019-01-23 01:21:55 +0000 UTCWhat's the reason behind the removal? That might gives us more to think about in terms of a solution.

2019-01-19 20:27:41 +0000 UTCAnother podcast only allows people in their Facebook group who are Patreon contributors. However,I’m not sure how easy it is to distinguish who is a patron or not. I think they gave out a code for Patreon supporters only. I’m so sad about this but I’m sure there is another way.

2019-01-18 18:51:33 +0000 UTCYou can make an exclusive Subreddit and then do the AMA in that for sure

2019-01-17 03:58:57 +0000 UTCCould you create a discord ? Xxx

2019-01-16 23:08:33 +0000 UTCDid Patreon give an acceptable reason? Isn’t a “live ama” a perk for membership? Seems like BS to me.

2019-01-16 22:16:53 +0000 UTCA lot of communities use Discord, which is integrated with Patreon, but I'm not too familiar with it.

2019-01-16 22:04:25 +0000 UTCCan't you do a private subbreddit and just share the link on here?

2019-01-16 21:14:36 +0000 UTCWould it not work to just make a post and then people could reply to it? Or does it have to be a live post?

2019-01-16 21:00:18 +0000 UTCI agree with the reddit option. Could even make your own Subreddit for the show.

2019-01-16 20:59:43 +0000 UTCReddit wouldn't work because then it would not be exclusive to Patreons

2019-01-16 20:51:40 +0000 UTCThat too bad, but I have to say it was not the most reliable service. I’ve had to restart the app a few times in order to see the new posts.

2019-01-16 20:48:41 +0000 UTCBummer, it was always nice just saying hi to you. You may just need to do reddit AMA's maybe? ..Or you can add me on FB and message me there haha
