  Advertising RSS feeds is also a good way to reach back. People have forgotten them but they still work just as much as before. I’ve dug up Reeder that is still kicking after all these years.

      How is it dead tech if everything still works, apps are still being made and websites still publish feeds? Literally every Substack and such has an rss it’s so easy that most websites have it without knowing and don’t link it but it works anyway

      My RSS feeds outnumber my newsletters like 40 to 1. It’s an incredibly lively and convenient way to syndicate updates of any kind.

  She touches on the aspect of monetization and claims that “you could make save money by being on the Fediverse”.

  Yes, in theory it is possible. In practice this is something that only is available for the already-famous journalists who have enough pull to move their audience from Substack to their own property.

  For everyone else, the Fediverse is (a) too small and (b) too “anti-money” to encourage professionals to even try making a living here. They stay on Substack for the same reason that video creators stay on YouTube: it’a horrible master, but at least it lets them pay their bills.

  Well written article. I wonder how common cross posting your content is for Mastoton and Bluesky? Or peertube and YouTube? I chose Mastodon because I believe in activityhub and YouTube because it actually has people. Would someone prefer mastodon but also share to bluesky?

  I find it kind of goofy that they quote their own toots. Feels like tooting their own horn. Just say it, don’t need to quote it.

    A few channels like The Linux Experiment post videos to both, probably for the reasons that you mentioned. Its uncommon though, because most YouTube channels are (partially) in it for the money. No ad revenue on PeerTube!

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts. That’s the only video example I could think of too
