I don't quite see how paid and federated go together. Would only the users on that platform have to pay while others would be able to access it from their free instances?
Yes exactly.
You can pay to fund the instance you use. To help ensure it's worth the time of whoever is managing it.
It's how Communick works. Or is hoped to work. It seems difficult to convince fedizins to pay for this great stuff.
Yeah, that's what I was hoping for. I'm a believer that money = value. If something or someone is valuable, it should be paid for and there's nothing wrong with that.
I'm also a believer that you can operate in FOSS/Fedi-mode and still make money.
