Comment on The Fediverse and Content Creation: Monetization

  I don’t have strong feelings either way, but money does touch everything, overtly or not, when it comes to civilisation. Time spent volunteering on Fediverse projects is effectively money spent (at least to some degree), and instances cost time & fees to maintain.

  But I guess to argue against myself– you have to think that without some kind of ongoing responsible oversight, then the worst aspects of capitalism might predictably find a way to screw it all up if left to its own devices. Then again, maybe the scale involved makes that less likely. *shrug*

    Yeah, I get it. Volunteers’ time should be valued. But, there is more to valuing than money is my counter: authority, respect, community engagement, and a fraternal/paternal element

    I salute all mods. And I pay for admins

      I mean, you’re kind of lifting my point in to a broader area that I wasn’t speaking to at the time.

      Of course I agree with all that you said. But I was talking strictly in the context of OP’s framework.

  Having to deal with crypto means having to deal with crytpo bros

  The internet was also a better place when people using it were more open minded

      Your argument sounds like “pc are bads because of virus”

        If 99.9% of PCs were solely made to steal your credit card info, then yes.
