@5dh @fediverse Financial incentive is not the only possible cause. If project leaders stop listening to their users for some other reason, you’ll get the same result.
And there is another, more subtle problem: protocol bloat. Fediverse services are getting more and more complicated, and the cost of creating a new platform is constantly increasing. If this problem is not addressed, at some point Fediverse will start looking like a web browser market, where new players can’t compete due to an immense implementation complexity.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
@Fitik @Teknevra Tipping will also be supported in the future (in addition to subscriptions).
And people on other platforms may put addresses in profile fields (Lemmy doesn’t have them yet?). Mitra displays a donation icon when address is detected (the name of the field should be like $BTC).
