Told y'all mastodon being the majority here is not a good thing....

I hate this.

I hate that I was right.

Everything is about ๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿค‘. It always has been.

@[email protected] I don't think our goal is just to make money. I do think that having a financially viable Fediverse is important; it's one of our goals. But that can mean a lot of different things: coops, non-profits, grants, or companies.

But the money is a means to an end: having positive, independent social networking software and services.

@[email protected] I just hope there's no major financial influence from the major companies involved like Meta.

I don't want to lose control of my own site because I am not a programmer. I have a bit of control with Mastodon right now. However, there are some gripes everyone has had like lack of moderation features.

I worry a financial influence to change certain things will lessen my control and I'd have to find another software.

My worries always come from a place of passion and concern.

Thanks for your response. I appreciate you.
