@dma@hachyderm.io @esk@hachyderm.io @thisismissem@hachyderm.io @mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io you know, this really puts the old "twitter doesn't make any money" arguments into perspective (in that their argument wasn't that Twitter doesn't make any money so much as it was "Twitter doesn't make money hand over fist for the capitalist backers like they want it to").

I still hear some variation about "fedi needs monetization!" and my first instinct is no, for a ton of reasons, but it's also nice to know that in theory, things can work out just fine and people can get paid for their time without forcing advertising or VC backing down people's throats.
