Come join a community of creators supporting each other where they already are!
Decentralized, privacy respecting, and minimalist. Help rebuild the indie web by throwing pennies at people!
Let’s make some noise 🎉
@slowclap.bsky.socialI wasn’t trying to quote-dunk you… I was agreeing with you! It’s super deceptive the way this stuff is presented to supporters. I’m on team “get creators as much money as possible”
@slowclap.bsky.socialWe also take fees, but once, no matter how many people you support. That’s not to say Patreon isn’t worthwhile, but on low $ tiers especially, people get a lot less than you’d expect!
@slowclap.bsky.socialAs far as I’m aware, this also only true if you’re lucky enough to get a batch payment or a supporter that pays extra to offset the fees. Patreon charges 8%-12% and the payment processor charges 30 cents plus 3%, meaning even direct payments can be as low as 55 cents!
@slowclap.bsky.socialThank you! That’s the clap button which changes based on how much someone applauds you! For example, my icon for you looks like this! 🤔
@slowclap.bsky.socialHey, no worries! That’s what I’m here for! There aren’t any avatars really, just communities and links (the icons of both can be customized) As far as usernames, they are randomly generated I wanted to keep them their own independent thing and prevent scamming / people pretending to be other people
@slowclap.bsky.social👋 it’s me, a great way to do this! Pirates, ahoy! 🏴☠️
@slowclap.bsky.socialgood luck!
@slowclap.bsky.socialPersonally I think this guy should put his money where his mouth is and give that other guy 30K
@slowclap.bsky.social💪
@slowclap.bsky.socialSmall update to slowclap this morning, mainly about communities! New Communities For: 📜 Poets! 💻 Developers! Also, in order to give people more flexibility I’ve increased the custom community count and moved the nsfw flag to links. Please update your communities and links accordingly!
@averystorm.bsky.socialReposted by @slowclap.bsky.socialIf you have a slowcl.app subscription, consider giving some applause to indie queer Indigenous authors likes bountiful-fedora and friendly-orca this Indigenous Peoples' Day! 🧡
@slowclap.bsky.socialFYI While I’m trying to avoid emphasizing applause amounts in share cards (any support is good support!) There is a design language for applause! 0-9 👐 (my avatar) 10-49: 🙌 50-99: raise the roof! 100-199: 💪 200-299: ✌️ 300-499: 👌 500-999: ✋ 1K-1999: ✊ 2K-2999: 🫶 3K-4999: 🖖 5K-9999: 🤙 10K+ ???
@slowclap.bsky.socialI get nervous every time someone randoms into “erotic-“ anything. My mom got “erotic-aubergine” and I’m not sure she knows and at this point I’m afraid to ask 💀💀💀 anyways glad you like it here’s some very distinguished golf claps 🍸
@slowclap.bsky.socialI hope all who this applies to add themselves to this list! And please consider subscribing! For $5 a month you could give each of these people .40, which is almost as much as they’d get from an individual $1 Patreon sub! Make your $5 count for $10 and support some great people!
@slowclap.bsky.social10000 claps
@slowclap.bsky.socialseems cool to me idk
@verati404.bsky.socialReposted by @slowclap.bsky.socialI'm excited for #slowclap to gain traction. Indie spaces really need a win, & there should be easy ways to support creatives making real, human-made art. ^_^
@slowclap.bsky.socialAgreed! Why do you look so familiar? 🤔🥸
@slowclap.bsky.socialI can’t even begin to articulate how much this just made my day. What a great idea!
@slowclap.bsky.socialhow dare you though
