 @f8bdd76b like a closed Mastodon instance, that doesn't federate, that you pay for. Which is maybe fine if you really like the 'curation' of who is there. My impression is that the people running it really don't want to be bad capitalists, but are also effectively running a start up based on generous funding that will run out. Eventually they will either run out of money, or they will sell out. Either way it won't end nicely. I also dont really know what the crowd is on there but I also gather it's a lot of people who are doing capitalism but really want to pretend they arnt (small makers, people who sell stuff they make/art/their writing) which is kind of a turn off for me. I could be wrong though! But I'm much more interested in putting my energy into this place (which has ample room and potential for people who wanna promoter their little hustles and such!).
