On Not Contributing Money to Fediverse Instances
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Fediverse instances want you to pay them to use their services. This could be fantastic. It isn’t, for one simple reason. We are helping someone else grow their projects enough for them, eventually to get IPOs and sell off the company, and our contribution to the highest bidder for them to profit.
Zwift and Strava I liked Zwift and I liked Strava, until they raised venture funds, getting millions, on top of what we were already paying for the service.
