Comment on How would fedi fans feel about a paid LinkedIn alternative on the fediverse?
Steve@communick.news 10 months agoYes exactly.
You can pay to fund the instance you use. To help ensure it’s worth the time of whoever is managing it.
It’s how Communick works. Or is hoped to work. It seems difficult for many fedicins to understand that developing the software and managing the hardware won’t ever be free. Someone needs to pay for it.

Yeah, that’s what I was hoping for. I’m a believer that money = value. If something or someone is valuable, it should be paid for and there’s nothing wrong with that.
I’m also a believer that you can operate in FOSS/Fedi-mode and still make money.
