Got spam today from someone trying to tap this new market and create a following.

Please don’t encourage them. If it catches on it will be terrible. Don’t let them destroy this for us.

    As long as no Fed instance attempts to monetize content, these people will have no power. So subscribe to them, engage to them all you want, but absolutely shun any Fed instance that does anything but accept donations to keep the lights on. Money will always enshittify platforms and their content. Always.

      Please enlighten us on why everyone should give you everything for free?

      Honestly aren’t we mostly in this mess because no-one will pay for a subscription so we’re stuck with shitty advertising as the only way to keep the lights on for most platforms?
