    That was a great read. ICQ…man that takes me back. How do we let someone make money off the Fidiverse, without giving them any control? I’m new here but I am excited about the possibilities. Internet the way it was supposed to be. Still, it will never be the platform I want, without some investment. Who’s going to invest? Will it be an open, crowd-souce volunteer system? Will that ever make it good enough?

      Why exactly does someone need to make money of Fedi? The only valuable thing on a network are the users, and black holes like Facebook can only monetize, not provide value. Fuck that. Nobody is stopping a normal company from making space around here and providing some service, selling stuff or talking to their customers.
