Sure, we have open source, federated replacements for Instagram, Tiktok, and YouTube. How do we get creators to use this stuff? One consideration involves the ability to pay for things.

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about PeerTube, Loops, Bandwagon, and other platforms in the Fediverse that are geared around artists. I might get flamed for this, and you’re welcome to disagree, but I think the network is in dire need of having support for commerce.

Not “Big Capitalism” commerce, but the ability for people to buy and sell things, support projects, and commission their favorite creators to keep making more stuff.

    Been thinking similarly. Really think it would be the perfect place for crypto given its decentralised nature but the fediverse hates that. Also think we need to solve the portable identity problem first. We can solve the portable identity with did the same way ATProto solved it and blockchain are an excellent backend for that. Ideally we would use XMR as its objectively the best blockchain and objectively better than fiat.
