I believe that the Fediverse can and should be more than a niche thing for those that reject Big Tech.

I also believe that to get there we will need businesses, service providers and professional developers who work on it because they are motivated by more than just "community values" and goodwill. For example, I have quite a bit experience with distributed systems and I know I could work to make Lemmy federation more efficient, but I can only do that if I can secure a stable income.

Please follow the linked Mastodon thread and vote on the polls. The idea is to find out if there are enough people willing to pay for services that can ease their pains with Mastodon/Lemmy/Matrix.

Recommending profiles to follow is already part of the onboarding process, and is not in any way equivalent to “pushing profiles for you to see”.

So, if its already possible. What would your freemium features add?

There is no “TOS” for the fediverse software.

Each software has, in fact, its rules/terms. Peertube, for example, is explicitly non-profit.

Look, I really tried to keep an open mind about this conversation, but now you are distorting the truth and I can’t tell if it’s for ignorance or dishonesty. I think it’s time to end it. Have a nice one.

To me what you are doing trying to monetise something that is completely free of charge, while pretending you are doing it to promote the fediverse, "making it mainstream" (the last thing the hardcore fedizens want), IS dishonest. So I guess we are even.
