An idea I would be interested in is some kind of public-private partnership for operating internet services like social media, search, and wikis, which are necessary for the public good but have no viable economic model. The government provides the public funding and private entities build and operate the services, because no one wants to log into a government-operated reddit clone to look for onlyfans leaks. Maybe this could be accomplished with grants instead of donations?
- kaba0 3y agoI think a reddit-like community could easily operate on a donation-based basis. Every development is open-source, and the operation costs are displayed on the site with a progress bar for the month until filled. It would be trivial amounts so it may not even need to be displayed, will be paid so fast.
