You are mixing up two topics here. If someone wants to experiment with a local only algorithmic feed that’s fine, but I can practically guarantee that this will never be enough to convince people to switch from TikTok and the like.

And the other topic is about commercialization. You are the one stuck in the past thinking that is the only way for the Fediverse to succeed. Quite on the contrary, if anyone seriously tried that it would fail quickly and just result in burned investments and a lot of goodwill towards the Fediverse lost.

What do you think that Automattic, Flipboard and Ghost are doing? Do you think they are paying people to develop integrations with AP because they are really nice people and have zero intentions of profiting from their investments?

Look, I better leave this conversation. I should have learned by now that there is no point in arguing with ideologues.

  The problem is that you are the ideologue but fail to realize that. Capitalism is an ideology and a very harmful one.
  
  As for those investments, lets see, but I don’t expect much to come from those.
