About two months ago I was talking about this model for funding artists in the Fediverse where backers would set a monthly "pledge" and then they would be able to define how to split their contribution among their favorite preferred people.

This week I am launching the MVP of this idea. It's not specific to musicians or artists, but instead can be used by any content creator that wants to get any support from their audience.

There is no commission from the funding part, it makes money by providing a service. To be a member of the Collective you need a paid plan on Communick. The cheapest one is $29/year, which gives an account on Mastodon/Lemmy/Matrix/Funkwhale.

Compared with Patreon which takes a 8% cut, any creator that is receiving more than $30 per month will be better off by using this platform instead.
