Doberman Media opens registration on the site. We tell you how to register and why you need it

The First Independent Queer Media Outlet Doberman Media announces the launch of Doberman Club — a community for those who value honest journalism, an independent perspective, and the right to be oneself anywhere in the world. We’ve been operating for over two years without grants, sponsors, or censorship, and now we invite you to become part of our story.

Here are the answers to the main questions about how the club operates.

What is the Doberman Club?

This is a model of participation that allows us to maintain editorial independence and gives you an exclusive experience of engaging with our content. We write for gay, bisexual, and trans men, as well as MSM, covering the lives of our community without censorship or fear.

Why should I join the club?

In addition to supporting independent media, membership offers a number of practical benefits:

• Dark Theme: A unique interface designed for extended reading and to protect your eyesight.
• Early Access: You can read investigative reports, interviews, and long-form articles at 48 hours earlier the rest.
• No ads: An interface without banners or pop-ups—just text and substance.
• Exclusive content: Exclusive content, investigations, podcasts, and PDF books that will never be made publicly available.
• Private mailing list: A weekly "behind the scenes" digest where we share personal observations and topics that can't be published publicly.
• LOYALTY CARD: This is required to verify your status with our partners and at private events.

What are the options for participating?

We have provided for two rate plans:

1. Doberman Plus (€3.99 per month): Full access to all of the club's digital perks, including a dark theme, no ads, and early access.
2. Doberman Ultra (€29.99 per month): The highest level of support. Includes everything from the Plus plan, plus direct access to the editorial team and an annual collectible NFT token. Additionally, after 12 months of your subscription, we’ll send you Doberman Box — a physical package containing secret merchandise.

And if I don't want to pay, will I still be able to read anything?

Yes. Наша позиция принципиальна: 99% контента сайта остается free and open to everyone. Doberman posts socially relevant content—news, articles on human rights, safety, and support for LGBTQ+ people—and it remains there forever free and open to everyone. A subscription gives you access to exclusive content, but it doesn't hide essential information behind a paywall.

Is this safe?

We place a special emphasis on data protection. Doberman Media is registered with Lithuania (EU), our servers are also located within the EU, and the data is protected in accordance with the standard GDPR.

Payment is processed through European payment services. We do not use Russian or Belarusian banks or services to ensure the security of our subscribers worldwide. You can cancel your subscription at any time with a single click in your account settings.
