In the last few months, several Mastodon clients shut down and several developers shifted to Bluesky. One reason: Money.

    It’s not interesting. It’s anecdotal at best and a bad coping strategy at worst.

    Instead of calling sour grapes, just face reality: this ecosystem is doomed to failure and stunted growth unless people start showing up with real cash to support it.

    We can not have both ways. If we hate VCs and we don’t want ad-infested, Surveillance Capitalism, we must ourselves pay what developers are worth. Otherwise they will just be playing around here, but collecting their nice paychecks from Big Tech.

      If you think this ecosystem is doomed, why are you still here?

        I am here because I know that it has potential despite the prevailing culture, not thanks to it.

        Nice job linking to the discussions, it really helps to make the case for my argument: community is not enough, and y’all need to start putting your money where your mouths are.
