Maybe you could try not following him if you don't like it. 🤔
That's fine. Probably not venture capitalists that need paid back.
With an asterisk.
Free* is never Free
The best approach to "free" things is to understand that it's never sustainable. Eventually it will have to become a paid subscription or ad supported or both.
It will become enshittified unless that new service is open source and "free as in beer". With no profit motive, it can grow gradually and be supported by it's users. Like Lemmy/ kbin / Mastodon.
I read their posted business plan, and there is no way on God's green earth that what they have in their business plan will raise the money they need.
That would be nice for the Fediverse. I'd follow that.
No ads ... Yet.
It was funded by venture capitalists that demand payback.
They are currently in enshittification stage 1 where everything is wonderful and free. The users have not been monetized yet.
What are you referring to "looking like Reddit"? And why would you want their API lock-in, paid ads disguised as content, and obvious AI bot posts?
I'll hang into my cash and hope for a fork by some non-tankie devs.
Fedilab app is now free, and it works on PeerTube (and many other Fedi platforms). I paid for it previously. It's good.
