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

I think that my argument here is that “the platform” doesn’t exist. The fediverser (much like the internet) is not made of one single entity that defines it’s direction.

Maybe I missed some context to the question, but I didn’t know my ideal social media platform had to be something that already existed.
