Log inupdate: they walked back the policy for now but my faith is still shattered. As updated in the Discord, the self hosted website is in progress: https://store.fangs.black
Emailing Subscribestar about their recent Policy Changes as they seem to have shifted a goalpost on acceptable characters but if it turns out I'm not compliant, I will be closing my pages here and just go self hosted.

substar getting so fucking cringe in the name of puritanism is very cool i love modernity and the direct influence of america that is actively being imposed upon the rest of the world
This shit makes me so incredibly angry... So much for SubStar being the "good" alternative. I've been putting off joining the Discord because I don't really like joining a bunch of servers, but maybe it's time to consider it.
I hear you. I'm sorry, it's out of my hands.
I'm currently finishing up my self hosted website and building a clean solution. I don't like being in a bunch of Discords either. At the moment I'm workshopping both a discord solution and a member's area on the store.
Give me a few weeks! I already had it half built from when Itch.io fucked me. I know you'll love the zine I had planned for april 1 ^^
Oh, sorry, my anger is 100% directed at SubStar and the United States Purity Police. You're just doing what you can in this environment. I really hope things work out. And yes, absolutely looking forward to whatever's coming next!
Huh. A little disappointing to see again. I'd like to follow if you do end up leaving though
I think they may have walked it back as the text got deleted about an hour ago but honestly, I'm still gonna go self hosted because this is the last straw for me with platforms arbitrarily updating their policies with vague, vibes-based wording. I'll keep everyone updated though.
