Yeah, that doesn’t seem right. Correction 1: I guess, for instance, they may become pay monthly just to have upkeep and moderation covered themselves. That would be an ok thing in my eyes.

But for content creators and stuff, a pay-to-view system isn’t really a good idea. Guess it would have to be done through donations instead, as that’s the only thing that sort of makes sense.

I know people that use Reddit & Twitter purely for their NSFW content, So I don’t think taking away Fediverse NSFW content would work for those types of people.

I would like to see the Fediverse grow overtime, also we haven’t had to deal with a Decentralised network across the internet before, who knows what may happen.

Yeah, from what I have seen from everyone, donations are probably one of the few ways people can really get around all of this.

What is fair enough, even for creators as they normally take sponsors or shout out there Patreon, Ko-Fi or other way of donating to them.

Just unsure how that would with short-form content if TikTok goes away and @loops grows for those finding an alternative.

Thank you, Yeah Donations seem like the only way people can really do anything massive, well not taking away from what the Fediverse is and needs to be. An ad-free, free speech place that doesn’t take your data.

I’m sure people who move from Video based platforms could also take sponsorships like they normally do across YouTube and Twitch.

It would be nice for the Subscription platforms like Ko-Fi to have some sort of way to integrate your posts into the Fediverse in the future.

Yeah, I think that’s the conclusion we have come to. Donations are what makes the Fediverse great, I guess it just might be nice to make it easier to display / click on in the future.

Yes, ActivityPub 2.0 is working on that from what I can see. It would be really cool to see how that turns out. Bluesky’s not using the same protocols though, so unsure how they are going to fix with all of that.

Yeah, I guess I could see how the UI / UX could be a problem for some people. I’m sure it’s something that they will improve on overtime.

For a Lemmy Alternative, there’s Kbin what’s pretty visually pleasing but can be complex compared to Lemmy to learn.

Yeah, that’s probably the best way that people would move across. Knowing people are moving across to Threads, It could be a good way (once they join the Fediverse) for people to get involved with it and maybe move across to things like Mastodon and Lemmy.
