Spending thirty million dollars to somehow force bluesky to interoperate with a copy of itself while people are out here connecting C64s, AA-powered PalmPilots, aquarium pumps and toothbrushes to the Fediverse is definitely an entire idea.
@mhoye @gnomon Can you imagine pumping 30 million dollars into Mastodon, Pixelfed, and the others?
@WTL @mhoye I could see that funding three years of stable administration and moderation for 30 instances serving a few hundred users apiece, which I suspect would do this network a world of good completely apart from improving a single line of code
@gnomon @WTL @mhoye If someone wanted to spend that money, I’d rather spend it teaching government and news media IT departments how to run their own instances.
@david_chisnall @gnomon @mhoye Outreach would certainly be a good use for some of the money.
