1 year agoIn part you can see this already - there are a bunch of servers
that most lemmy instances have defederated from. In these cases information flow is one way - f.e. lemmmy.world doesn’t get any updates from foo.baz
, doesn’t provide search results, communities, etc.
Subscription would make sense when the added value you provide is 1) availability guarantees, 2) performance guarantees, 3) membership guarantees, 4) moderation / content filtering options
Capitalism is relatively good, gives performance & frugality incentives. Unrestrained late-stage capitalism… not so much. Think of it like oxygen. At 21% you’re great (and need it to live), at 90%+ you spontaneously combust.
