it seems the one thing NOSTR and Fediverse have in common is the belief that costs of running the system should be supported by donations ...

but this is actually the most centralized way to run anything because little guys have nothing to gain from donating - only somebody donating thousands can negotiate something in exchange for his donation ...

i told nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr i would pay him to develop certain features but he doesn't care because he assumes i can't afford to pay enough to make it worth it for him ...

but perhaps the NSA can pay enough ...

what is so wrong about Torba asking people to get a paid GAB membership if they want to upload files ? what is so wrong about a social media platform working for ( taking money from ) its actual users ? ( as opposed to whoever comes in with the money the system needs to survive ) ?

oh you're going to bootstrap by paying each other with zaps - what are you some kind of Keynesian Retards ? well actually you are, that's why you believe in Bitcoin, nevermind ...
