    I completely agree with you about Mastodon. I’m also not at all convinced that it’s a suitable replacement for Twitter for the masses.

    When it comes to monetization, I just meant that I think it’s necessary for any Fediverse application if the Fediverse ever wants to have any chance of somewhat competing with mainstream platforms. After all, earning potential is, imo, the basis for professionally created content.

    Not that the Fediverse necessarily needs all of that, but it does if you want to reach the masses, because they demand content in a quantity that simply cannot be provided free of charge (on mainstream social media it is paid for via ads).
