Sure, we have open source, federated replacements for Instagram, Tiktok, and YouTube. How do we get creators to use this stuff? One consideration involves the ability to pay for things.

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about PeerTube, Loops, Bandwagon, and other platforms in the Fediverse that are geared around artists. I might get flamed for this, and you’re welcome to disagree, but I think the network is in dire need of having support for commerce.

Not “Big Capitalism” commerce, but the ability for people to buy and sell things, support projects, and commission their favorite creators to keep making more stuff.

    yes, Lemmy being created by tankies, genocide deniers and tech bros is the reason why most servers are rife with misogyny and incel mentality. that’s why women don’t feel comfortable participating and most active members are men.

    How do you know that most active members are men? To me it sound you are being sexist here and judging people by their posts. Also where have you seen rife misogyny? Lemmy community is quite open and there are different instances you can chose each with its policies.

    the US is and still is a federal institution.

    I don’t know much about US government but i believe the US president has some power over states granted by constitution. Bitcoin isn’t designed to have a president that can chose for others.
