It doesn’t need to be Primal vs Damus, and yet that’s what the purists (as I like to call them) and even the Damus dev himself like to push like a bunch of crybabies. They need to grow up.
As for the main point of this discussion, people have a few choices:
1) pay for what you need
2) manually piece together the features you want using multiple apps
3) wait until an ad-supported client comes along and turns the user and their data into the product just like every other social media out there.
I like Daniel’s zapvertising idea as well. I feel like most won’t do 1 or 2. Most users from legacy socials that were trying to attract I mean. Either we get something like zapvertising or legacy ads like you said
*we're trying to attract
Had to head out earlier with family so just getting back through my notifications slowly 😂 I really don’t want to see “traditional” ads show up in clients but I also feel like it’s probably inevitable at some point if the user base gets large enough.
I think so too. Either something like zapvertising becomes really popular and attracts the masses, or we’re stuck with legacy ads
