PieFed has this really nice feature that deletes old stuff over time per community

On the one hand, that’s a cool feature and I can see how this could keep storage costs down.

On the other hand, access to old conversations is one of the main appeals of forums. If I knew my posts were guaranteed to disappear after X days, I’d reconsider posting there at all.

Testing testing…

It works when I use the direct link (https://postimg.cc/RN0r6qp8).

When I use the regular link (https://i.postimg.cc/15GydqG9/Image-20250602-145924.jpg), it says failed to load in Voyager.

Patreon dropped them.

Also, not necessarily on the verge anymore.

I support content creators being able to make a living in the fediverse (without enshittifying it).

So… good luck. I hope you find a healthy way to go about it.

Shouldn’t you have talked to them before starting the non-profit?

I do not claim to have any expertise (and defo not an accountant), but that sounds backwards to me.

revenue share or something for content creators

Where’s the revenue coming from? The content creators paying to store their own videos?

I remember someone tried to monetize Mastodon feeds like Substacks or something.

It didn’t last long.

I can’t imagine any way to monetize content other than individual Patreons or collective subscriptions (like Nebula, Curiosity Stream and whatever Linus Tech Tips thing is called Floatplane).

Yes, but that would only work if her group chat friends also use Signal.

Which likely isn’t going to happen unless all of their friends also use Signal.
