Reddit migrator here (shocking, I know)

Just wondering because I found out about all this yesterday and just realized the ammount of independent servers, but no sign of any ads or sponsors. So… is it all based on donations?

Also don’t just lurk, if you know you should answer because lemmy only counts users who posted or commented as active users.

    Please see the full sentence:

    If you imagine a future where the fediverse has Twitter or Instagram levels of users, it’s pretty likely that instance owners will want to monetize as much as possible

    Running a fediverse instance is a hobby now, but if there are enough users, then maybe you can start making money from your instance, and that’s when profit-seeking behavior begins.

    You see, i don’t want to enjoy a nice cozy corner of the internet, that’s weak shit, what i want to do is obsess over how we’re going to ruin it.
