It's exactly the same as a paywall for newspapers.

You want to be part of a soc media platform with gazillion users?
Want it for free? Give us you data!
Dont want to give anything? Then pay!

This is actually the best thing that can happen to the Fedi.

@breizh @RLetot @noybeu
>Or not : the Fedi is paid too.

True. But nobody needs to satisfy the money hunger of shareholders. And anybody can offer it for free if he feels like.

> It works now, but you can’t really scale up.

I doubt that. If you can serve 10 million users by their donations, why shouldn't it work with 10 billion users?

What's the difference?

@Mastodon
To the moon!

@ryanhoulihan
Well, don't know about you, but I guess there people who actually say Amazing! to things that they don't think to be amazing.

Would be interesting to find out, why they do it. Just for fun. What's the urge?

@ryanhoulihan
And why is it amazing, to call things amazing when they aren't?

Normally if something's green, you don't try to describe them as red.

@thomasfuchs
Are you AT or CH?

There are so many AT words that sound very funny in German ears, because we don't have them. Like "Sager" or "Amtsbehandelt"

@thomasfuchs
More precisely it's probably an Austrian word?

Never heard the word in Germany.

@ryanhoulihan
And why is that, you think?

@Gargron @zdfmagazin @ErikUden
Nicly done.

@aral
Yeah, didn't argue for social darwinism.

Just said, growth is the very reason we humans exist.

Imagine 2 apes saw another ape with a growing brain and decided, let's stop this.

Growth is a biological, and for that, a human trait. We should just be intelligent enough to stop it, in cases where it kills us.

@aral
BUT imagine the first ever existing cell hadn't had that urge in it's Genome.

No Mastodon. No Internet. No humans.

What a boring life.

@sjvn
Nice try

@davidrevoy
What did Free/Libre&Open-Source pay you for this post?

Disgusting!

@Gargron
And Elon is one of the most unreliable announcers in CEO history.

Remember the experts panel that should've decided Trump's re-activation?

And how much he hates ads? Months later he hires a CEO whose one and only expertise is selling ads.

@thomasfuchs @nicholashead
Ok. That was before my time. And there were no articles to read between them.

Was more thinking of magazines, the paper-internet before the real internet.

@nicholashead @thomasfuchs
This.

For over a 100 years ads didn't have animations.

And worked perfectly.

Now they are color explosions and constantly flickering which makes reading the article some kind of high power mind game, which is almost unsolvable.

Especially animations are the dumbest idea ad agencies ever had. They make using an ad blocker mandatory.

@Gargron please implement it.
