  What is the problem of having someone offering a service (social media hosting) at a fair price? There is virtually no way that we can have an universally accessible social media if we don’t have people paying for it.

    Paying for services is fine, profit is the problem. Covering costs is all I want. No need for any agenda or hidden user costs. Just providing a service that people actually want to use.

      Why is profit a problem? How do you account for the cost of the labor of the developers, or the time spent by volunteers?

      Just providing a service that people actually want to use.

      Why isn’t that deserving of profit?

        If we’re talking about my dream, that is my dream. A platform that isn’t trying to make money. It’s not wrong to want to make money, but a platform that is trying to make money isn’t my dream platform.
