Comment on What Would a Fair and Community-Focused Monetization Model on the Fediverse Look Like?
Mio@feddit.nu 1 month agoI agree. Look at email servers. It just works out. Email server owners don’t look at the content. They just host the servers. Both protocols are federates.
Forums will most likely be driven by the community and volunteers. Just lets move everyone over to the fediverse. Then it should be easier to find such people.

But do you remember how they monetized email

They…? If you choose to pay for something you can be getting for free, it’s kind of your fault for being a useful idiot.

Yeah, the largest email company is probably Google (maybe Microsoft). Google definitely looks at every email they receive for users!

I don’t use Gmail. There are plenty of email providers out there that is completely free without ads and privacy focused. Mailfence, Tutanota, ProtonMail etc. Personally I use my ISP provider that is actually pro privacy - Bahnhof . That due it is a niche and if you don’t save logs you don’t have the log storage cost.
If feddit.nu (only 50 users) did not exist I would have chosen to self-host it on the free Oracle VPS teir.

The claim was “Email server owners don’t look at the content”. This is untrue since possibly the largest owner of email servers looks at the content to monetize the service. That’s all.
