This network has been my life’s work. Thanks for making it.
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] thanks. That’s a fair critique. I’ll see what I can do to get the full status of the project onto those pages.
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] It took me a while to figure out what you meant here.
The projects are just starting because the organisation just launched. We’ll show the deliverables on those pages when they’re done.
@[email protected] Thanks for the thoughtful reply. It’s really helpful.
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] IFTAS is awesome.
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] why? That’s not what we’re working on at all. What made you think the point is advertising and trackers?
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] that’s right. We’re using the AP plugin. Great to use!
@[email protected] I don’t think our goal is just to make money. I do think that having a financially viable Fediverse is important; it’s one of our goals. But that can mean a lot of different things: coops, non-profits, grants, or companies.
But the money is a means to an end: having positive, independent social networking software and services.
@wisdomchicken it’s funny that it seems like magic, since we’re all on the same Internet. We’ve been conditioned to have such low expectations!
@wisdomchicken @Hazzard absolutely! Hazzard, I’d love to discuss!
@acosmichippo LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] yes, we think that moderators and admins shouldn’t have to go broke and quit and shut down their servers.
We’d like to help figure out ways to keep them going – I prefer the coop model, like the CoSocial server I use, but that’s not for everyone.
