Hi car_thief, I'm not blind, nor am I a patreon user, but I do have relevant professional experience that might be useful here. I don't want to detract from the topic of sharing experiences though, so if you (or anyone else reading this) aren't interested in hearing about how you can get a response out of Patreon, please skip the rest of this post. And obviously mods, feel free to remove it.

It looks like Patreon outsources age verification to a third party, which in no way absolves them of responsibility, but it might explain why they've been slow to reply. They previously entered into a digital accessibility settlement agreement the company reached with the American Council of the Blind which outlines exactly that obligation too.

A few questions:

• When you emailed them, did you use the subject line "Disabled Access"? It seems they require that, although the info is buried in the "Contact Us" section of their accessibility page. I just want to be sure you've not ended up in their spam folder.
• Did you submit the privacy request through their support form? If not, do you have the option (or ability, assuming it's accessible) to use their support form to get the suspension investigated? Choose the "I have a Trust and Safety question regarding my account." in the listbox. Make sure you use the exact same email address as your account, and include the info you provided here. It also has the option to include attachments, if you're willing to provide the photo you took of your ID. But please be aware that this is not guaranteed to be securely transmitted or stored. I personally would start with the info you provided here and get a response first before doing that.
• What region are you in? Depending on where you are, you might be able contact a professional body that deals with accessibility legal compliance, but it's very location dependent. Hopefully this won't be necessary.

I appreciate that this all asks you to do more than what you already have, and you shouldn't have needed to do any of it at all. If you are US based, you can try their phone number, but you shouldn't be required to do that either. They should have upheld their end of the deal by ensuring you had an accessible option.

I also think it's worth posting this on mainstream social media; companies like Patreon actively monitor large channels for negative user feedback. Complaining online often moves much larger mountains than you might realise, provided the complaint is somewhere they check. The fediverse certainly is not that.

Yes, those are race car bed sheets. Yes, I’m 37. I apologize for nothing.

Good. You do you.

I see more of the world watching in horror than I see laughing.

It would be good to add alt text to this image. You can do it by adding it inside the square brackets.

If a country is an enemy, it is condemned as undemocratic and sanctioned in various ways; but if it is an ally, the fact that it lacks freedom of expression, human rights or democracy is ignored ...

The European Union, in fact, imposes economic sanctions on one country, and sends financial aid and weapons to another; yet fails to do the same in the face of other, even more serious invasions with even more brutal consequences for entire populations ...

These contradictions ... suggest that, in practice, concerns boil down to the political and economic interests of different regions of the globe ...

There is no longer a real and stable framework of truth and values.

Hmm...

The decision by a sovereign instrumentality to give funds to a foreign anti-Communist political movement rather than to a Communist regime, at the time where the Cold War was beginning in earnest in Europe, is not a "commercial" act; it is jure imperii, a deeply sovereign act

- The Vatican, ~2005, arguing in Alperin v. Vatican Bank why they shouldn't have to hand over documents about, or, compensate victims of the holocaust, for laundering the gold the fascists brought them in WW2.

I look forward to seeing the documents and restitution now that the Vatican has reversed it's position. I expect this is the height of pontification though.

Yes, and lots of people in lower income countries do so using a Bluetooth keyboard.

Never had a chance with that necklace. And ceramics are hard. Nice game though, I enjoyed it!

Bless you for trying anyway. They're truly precious, and I appreciate holding tiny sleeping babies takes absolute priority over photos.

I'm going to need more of these. Many more.

It's a recap. I'm glad they're still reporting on it at all but for anyone else who kept up with the previous coverage, you won't find anything here you haven't seen.

I got the opportunity to rescue some baby plovers years ago when I was at work. They'd fallen down a storm water drain and just needed someone to lift the very heavy grate and scoop them out (and cover the drain a little to prevent it happening again later).

They looked like cotton balls, were not much larger than a couple of them, and they didn't weigh much more than that either. I knew birds were light but it gave me even more of an appreciation for just how light they are.

I'm pleased to say that brood made it to adulthood. Thanks for reminding me of that experience!
