Since I was quite young at the millennium, but old enough to totally remember it, they’ll come a day (hopefully) when I’m one of the few very old people in the world who “remembers the 20th century”. Like how there were a small number of people kicking around in the 1980s who could remember the 1800’s…
Am seriously considering founding a not-for-profit to provide an ad free / spam free / bot free basic community. Would cost a dollar or two a month. Chief differences to the lemmy would be one account per person via proof of identity signup (I think this would improve behaviour and discourage spam), a single authority to tackle voting abuse and other things useful to be not federated.
Aside from that revenue would cover technical staff costs + hosting and the rest could go to some good cause. There’s be no ads. No data selling. Not conflict of interest over how the platform evolves. Would be open source. Adults only.
Id keep it as basic as possible to try and capture the spirit of 90s fora. Am not even sure I’d allow inline images or vid.
Thoughts?

Things only have a price if they have to. Price is, to some degree, an indication of power exchange. If they wanted or needed you to talk about it then there would be a price. As it happens you do it for nothing.
Responsibility occurs in proportion to the ability to stop or control a thing. Individuals are responsible for most of their crimes but not all. Society is to blame for some crime but not all.
