I‘m really curious how general purpose, public, #mastodon instances are going to be funded. If you’ve signed up for a instance which you’re not paying a buck for, there will be some way or another you gotta pay. I‘ve seen a model of 1€/Account/Month on an instance which seems reasonable.
@marcus IMHO should the governments fund public instances as part of the digital infrastructure
@marxist as long it’s made sure that public funding actually reaches and is used for this specific case, I think that sounds like a solid piece of digitalization work.
@marcus this plus public Matrix instances. Thing is, this is not gonna happen anytime soon in Germany. :-( #DigitalDesert
