Sub.club thinks premium feeds could also serve other use cases, like supporting helpful bots or generating funds to help maintain a community’s Mastodon server, for instance.
You know what this world needs? More subscriptions! - These assholes.
Just what the fediverse needs, micro-transactions!.
Any bets this will only work with Mastodon because it was built and designed only against Mastodon?
I wouldn’t even be surprised if other Fediverse server apps could simply circumvent sub.club if sub.club assumes that everything else out there works like Mastodon, too.
I think I could get behind an instance subscription, granted it wasn’t an obscene amount. I wonder what the upkeep on mastodon.social could be.
Some types of content might take days to research or work on and might not have the audience to allow monetization by ads . mitra exists for those types of things and is open source unlike this project (it seems).
Regardless of how you feel about subscriptions, it’s a step in making the fediverse a more viable option for that that create content for a living.
