@_elena @jwildeboer I guess it’s ok, seems like you can change payment providers in Patreon. I’m going to do that in the next couple of days. I’m not sure if this makes it any better.

@jwildeboer I guess Liberapay without the use of Paypal would be my preferred solution. I think I'm going to remove the direct Paypal link. Unfortunately Patreon is also Paypal only. Thanks for the support!

@samuel hard to tell what happened there, logs more like a problem on client side at micro.blog to me.

@samuel can you be more specific? The site is working for me and I see 14 videos in your account.

MakerTube resumes normal operations.

MakerTube is going down NOW for some maintenance.

@AdamStuartSmith it’s currently working but it’s a game of cat and mouse. It might break any time.

@rob do you apply?

I decided to let more people in, but without upload quota. If you would like to upload videos, please reach out and add a meaningful comment on the type of content.

There is a big inrush of people and registrations on #MakerTube after c't #heise (a big German publisher in IT) uploaded a video about alternative platforms to the big US owned ones. I'm going through the registrations and letting people in, but I can't accommodate everyone. There are just not enough resources, and the focus of MakerTube is limited, see https://makertube.net/about/instance/team
Maybe it's time to think about a platform with a bigger scope? #peertube
