Mastodon isnt just a life-raft, mastodon is how we win.The next big thing is not corporate apps. Not corporate anything. We arent running away from elon, we're replacing him.

@kevinrns Once people get a taste for what it’s like to no longer be fed what someone else wants them to see — and is no longer a product that someone else is selling to the highest bidder — they will never go back.

@kevinrns great, so what’s the funding model and plan to get billions of people on here? Also, how to deal with all the sociological and legal issues at that scale? Who’s going to work out the deal with Twitter that allows us to use one app that works with both systems during the transition period?

@seeteegee @kevinrns the funding model is simple, you pay to be on your instance. It doesn’t even cost much - fosstodon has I believe 50K+ people on it and monthly costs are currently $2110 (source: https://hub.fosstodon.org/about/ ). Even if only 10K of those people pay, it’s 20c per person. That doesn’t pay the admins or moderators, but charge $2/month and their wages are covered. These are not unreasonable fees to ask people to pay.
