If you thought this post was dunking on #mutualAid posts, you missed the point, I've made some myself and totally respect them, but its the underlying payment platforms and control we need to take from #BigTech and give back to the people.

https://webmonetization.org is the way we can do this.

@manyfold @[email protected] Congrats on the new release, this is a super cool platform

Fediverse logic:

Privacy-focused Web Monetization for creators: "Eww "

PayPal links in posts or bios: "Take my money! "

Sometimes I wonder if we actually want privacy and control or just easy to use #BigTech options

@medley56 No, this has nothing to do with ads. This is more like tipping a creator that you liked, using whatever Web Monetization wallet you have

Pixelfed will never introduce ads. Ever.

Multiple acquisition offers this year? All declined. Another one last week? Also declined.

I built Pixelfed for the people, not shareholders.

That's why we're exploring Web Monetization - direct creator payments with zero privacy compromise.

I won't sell out now, or ever.

I love you too much, and am forever grateful for you helping me come out and become the dev I always dreamed of ️

I know monetization on the fediverse is a complicated topic, I'm not introducing ads, selling data or engaging in sketchy token offerings.

This is a W3C standard that will be opt-in and ethically integrated.

That being said, I'm open to feedback and want to resolve any worries you may have about this, so please reply with any concerns or questions you have.

@Steel_Virgin Good point, its powered by https://webmonetization.org/ so it's the people that will be paying, I meant that I need more time to work out the finer details, but I will be more transparent about this going forward.

@Steel_Virgin I'll share more details soon!

@Steel_Virgin no, didn't you see the "not ads" part?

My #FediCon keynote: "The Fediverse in Action: Building Social Platforms That People Actually Want"

I've mastered building platforms people actually use, and I'm ready to spill all the secrets

Going from zero conference talks straight to a keynote?

Makes perfect sense to me

#letsGoLetsGo

Just submitted a grant application to fund creator monetization features for Pixelfed and Loops!

Think: direct micropayment support for photographers and content creators, not ads or data harvesting.

Building sustainable funding models that put creators first

More details soon.

@grosser_mensch @pixelfed Working on the fix now
