Forum Federato

@j12t of course but that’s not great at all. We are colonies not states and if ActivityPub was dominant it would be a much larger issue than you are considering

Johannes Ernst yeah I think it would be important to use both. Culturally and technologically there’s aspects of ActivityPub I feel are lacking for important use cases. For example, defederation is huge here. For something like the US government, can you imagine Blue and Red states defederating one another? That’s not healthy nor good. I mentioned that yesterday and someone mentioned ATProto being good use case for that. My point is that you’re right there needs to be both simultaneously

I want to see #Fediverse embrace sustainability beyond “small instances” I want to see small businesses, creators, devs, writers etc be able to make money. I see no reason to shy away from ads and subscriptions. Ads should be done respectfully- follow the magazine model and only be connected to a specific service. For example, clients should be able to show ads in a tasteful manner and if that bothers people they can just use a different client.
I’d much rather see people’s dollars going to spaces like these as opposed to Musk and Zucks businesses.
Idk what the ethical alternative to Twitter Blue looks like but I’d much rather see money going to the Mastodon team
