@asklemmy How could users Monitise themselves on the Fediverse?
As people possibly move across to the Fediverse to find alternatives, we have to question how people are going to make a living on this amazing platform.
Can it be fully run by donations or is there a better way for people to be paid across the Fediverse?
Ok, but
I saw this reply in real time without refreshing, amazing.
So with things like @loops on the way, do you think people who will move across to the Fediverse for an alternative if TikTok gets banned should earn there living?
The Fediverse makes sense to me for mass eyes on areas, having your data not sold and stuff, but why can’t people earn a living on it like the other parts of the Internet?
Nothing wrong with people making money online with content. It’s just why not have a space where people can’t?
I was more asking of the things that may replace platforms like TikTok connected to the Fediverse in the future suck as @loops
I understand not earning money from Mastodon or Lemmy, Just like the Video side of the Fediverse needs a way to earn money without the normal ways.
Why do we need replace other platforms? Why not just compete with them, they get the users that want to make money and be internet famous with the mindless zombies that follow it. And we get to have our own sites with a different user base.
Because some of the big users on those sorts of platforms have really good content that can be helpful and annoying to login to a tracking monster platform like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or any other main stream social media.
