I would say *it’s time to federate", but the path to monetization is nonexistent. Production value costs money and there should at least be a way to make that back. But as with open source software regarding monetization, federated platforms are overtly anti-monetization, demanding there be no ads, paid subscription or any integrated payment that is linked to the actual content (for analytics and tax purposes, which is key if you want to run it as a business).
The general consensus I seem to get from tankies and anarchists on Matrix and here on the fediverse is that they don’t want anyone who makes any money to take part, thereby creating a “boys club” specifically catering to their whims.
A bit of an aside, I know, but I thought it should be said.
