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?
So once a lot of money is involved it also will bring all the sharks, so be careful what you wish for. I rather have a free network which can dissapear any time than a stable one which is full of money grabbing assholes, because the I can just go to threads or reddit.
True that’s the risk. I think we can achieve a stable one with a good shared economical management. That imply a limited user base on each instance so cost are shared, scaled.
That’s why i think lemmy.world, mastodon.social aren’t a good thing. Not tackling on an economic system isn’t good either.
I agree 100℅
