Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I've wondered if "premium instances" will become a thing at some point. Not sure how that would work federation wise though. Maybe you're just paying for an uptime SLA and improved moderation?
Any premium or restricted content kinda works against how the fediverse works.
Maybe certain communities could be instance only? Or only local, paying, users can post or comment.
Yeah, that doesn't seem right. Correction 1: I guess, for instance, they may become pay monthly just to have upkeep and moderation covered themselves. That would be an ok thing in my eyes.
But for content creators and stuff, a pay-to-view system isn't really a good idea. Guess it would have to be done through donations instead, as that's the only thing that sort of makes sense.
No
Ok, why? Donations are easy on any platform, but if you want creators to move across and it makes sense for them, then wouldn't it make sense to find a way they can earn money?
I don't think anyone should be able to monetize themself on here. Donations are fine, but only for the select few actually keeping the servers on.
Bring money into it and most things go to shit.
Do people have to make a living of it?
Can't we have a place online where out data isn't being sold, aren't being bombarded with ads, or begged for subscriptions?
