I doesn’t “need” to be imported, the question is just, where do we see the future of federated (non-)platforms ? Do we want them to be “small and cozy” with a small and fairly narrow selection of content or do we want a non-corporate alternative that can compete in richness and variety of interesting content of all niches?
A lot of folks only seem to see the crappy part of youtube and other platforms, and don’t see the richness of content that exists ther. There’s still so much interesting stuff to be found. I don’t think there has ever been a bigger archive of, say, documentation about arts, crafts, history, food, than YT, even it its current enshittified form. If that’s an ocean of content, the Fediverse isn’t even a major river (at least that’s my impression).
If you don’t mind that, great. But I do, I’d love a non-corporate version to exist that can compete in terms of richness of content.
And monetary incentive is part of the puzzle, as it incentivizes people to spend time on it, which in terms generates a bigger audience, which in turn has a higher potential to support a wider range of content niches. Plain and simple.









Ohje, erinnere mich noch an die Gentoo Stage1 Installation um 2009 oder 2010 … nach 'nem Jahr oder so war die Overlay-Konfiguration in Portage so kaputt das es wesentlich schneller war, Ubuntu drüberzuinstallieren 😅 … glaube das habe ich insg. 2x gemacht … wobei, jetzt wo die Prozessoren schneller sind und das Kompilieren schneller geht, vielleicht wäre es mal wieder 'nen Versuch wert …
