I mean his from Africa, I wouldnt believe if his ancestors owned a couple plantations down there which ended up becoming what funded Musk in the first place. There’s a lot of dirty money in the pockets of billionaires.

They should make an instance, it would help the general public discover the fediverse. Most people I talk to at the bar don’t know about the fediverse, I’ve explained it so many times, some people show interest, some people don’t see the point, or how it’s a big deal. I probably just come off as a total geek.

Once meta opens up a channel to the fediverse, people will start to stumble upon the different instances, decide they are done with meta, and move on from meta.

There are some billionaires out there who are watching whats happening, they are noticing the patterns, the trends, what people want, and what people dont want.

All it takes is one clever billionaire, who realizes they have enough money to create the next best platform and be able to fund it by other means.

We are at the point where bots can generate ad revenue, so if we just abandon the old websites to bots, they become bot-towns that generate revenue, and that revenue goes towards funding ad free servers in the fediverse.

This may be what just happens.

If YouTube requires people to use adblockers that will be the start of another big platorm. The only thing is, is that many of these big YouTube channels get paid off and revenue, so they have no desire to move over to a different platform.

I think what we need to see is a humble platform, where there is no hunger for money, just the passion of putting out passionate content. Maybe even have a tip feature, so people can tip, but no ads.

Same goes with Facebook I’d love to see friendica or a new social media platform boom that is on the same vein, or better yet connects to different fediverse instances.

People need to all agree by the masses, that facebook is garbage, uninstall the app, and learn the ropes of a new platform.

Because of a generation gap, it would likely divide the older generation from the younger generation, as the older generation will be stuck feeding into Facebook. You would be surprised how many of them still watch TV.

It’s pretty easy to do, especially on the steamdeck
