I started using mastodon when musk bought twitter and kbin with all the reddit API shitshow. I like the idea of the fediverse but how does it have longevity?
I pay for a seedbox that has 4TB of storage and ungodly speed. Technically I could load my own instance of Kbin yeah? But then what? To be useful to the fediverse at large wouldn't I have to open it up to the public to use? What would attract users to some randos kbin server over any other?
Realistically how does the fediverse make money and remain sustainable? only donations?
