How do I, as an investor, make money with mastodon?
- rajamaka 3y agoYou don't, which is why it doesn't suck
- somehnguy 3y agoYou don’t - oh well. I’m sure there is an endless number of other ways you can try to make money investing if that’s your main concern.
- flagrant_taco 3y agoThere could be a market for one central Mastodon host with better UX that makes it easier to onboard non-tech people, but I'm not sure why making money is a pre-req here. Mastodon was never meant to be a for-profit enterprise as far as I'm aware.
- rsynnott 3y agoYou... probably don't? I continue to believe that there may be some small value in a single-person-instance-as-a-service product for celebs etc (particularly if Threads goes ahead with its embrace of ActivityPub; lots of value for celebrities in having the audience but having some independence from Facebook), but it's very niche. Not everything has to be about making money, you realise.
- bee_rider 3y agoIt seems like a hassle to re-negotiate federation each time for each celebrity. What about a general PR themed instance (strictly moderated so that everyone will peer with it).
- rsynnott 3y ago> re-negotiate federation That's not really how it works. Federation happens ~by default in general; restriction is reactive, not proactive.
- frameset 3y agoThats actually a really cool idea. The big PR agencies who rep for actors, authors, musicians etc, could run an instance and that's where the person's identity would be.
