Just came out of a discussion when someone was arguing that “if everyone here would pay $10-20 per year, the whole platform would be completely different”, but that seemed quite unrealistic to me.

What do you think?

I’m not advocating for this, and I would rather just donate, but how would you feel about ads that are in no way targeted? Or maybe ads that target the sub you view them in and not per user?

If I'm really really honest, If I can't pay for not seeing ads or can't block them then I am just not using that service. I know I'm extreme but I just can't for the love of god stand advertisement. I've unsubscribed of so many podcasts because I figured out they would have ads and no way of getting rid of them for example.

Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome 🤟😁
