I created an account on post.news a long time ago but never used it. Now, with the pending shutdown, I took another look.

It's striking that it basically looks like Mastodon. Plus a few extra features like payments.

Why did they not implement this as an add-on to, or fork of, Mastodon?

@J12t
Federating payment processing would be a nightmare?

Payment processing is built around high certainty.

@katanova I have not done the analysis for how exactly I would do that in the Mastodon world, or what exactly post.news has been doing. But it seems to me that hacking up a single Mastodon instance to do basically the same thing should have been possible, whether the federation only gets shortened posts or something in the first step.
