Yeah. This would be nice. Anything outside of Lemmy should open in a new tab.

One thing we can do is encourage the Instagram users in our lives to open a fediverse account and use Instagram from the other side.

If it is not funded through user donations, how is it self sufficient? Genuinely curious.

What would the checkmark mean?

Wikipedia is set up as a nonprofit. They have annual fundraising drives asking their users for money. They also have an endowment and receive grants.

A donation drive could be a good model but the decentralized nature of the platform would complicate things.

This is really well done. Do you mind if I repost some of the information here?

Awesome! Thanks. I linked it.

AKA The profit motive

HOCKY STICK!

This is impressive despite my lack of understanding.

Wait. What? LinkedIn? What’s the draw over there?

Same. Always kinda talked myself out of commenting on reddit because my comments would never be engaged with. Felt like I missed the boat there. Time to start over and build a new community.

Yeah. On Android there is Jerboa. Pretty bare bones but seems to get the job done. Hopefully it will be updated and flushed out.

Yeah. I think this is pretty much the accepted narrative. Kill the 3P apps -> Consolidate the user base -> Serve everyone adds -> Hopefully turn a profit -> Go public or sell the company -> Founders/Investors cash out and profit.

The collateral damage is that they risk killing the culture that makes Reddit a place people want to congregate.
