How about we just scrap the ISP instead and start over with a company that can list what they are charging for? This isn’t hard. Either it’s a legitimate fee or it’s not. I have a feeling they just don’t want to disclose that they have been ripping people off for a few extra bucks every bill for the last decade.

Because decentralized social networks don’t need to be profitable. That’s the whole point of this. Spread out, smaller instances, there is absolutely no need to for an instance to become so massive that it requires profitability to continue.

Using ‘Active Users’ as the metric of growth is much more reliable than the total user count since there have been rashes of instances started up just for spam accounts.

It even mentions this as a note on the fedidb site:

I disagree. At first I was frustrated that people were having so much difficulty with such a simple process, but after a while I adopted the mindset that if they’re too stupid to figure out something so mundane then I don’t want them here anyway. 🤷‍♂️

Seems kind of self-explanatory…

Sounds like Google is going to be enjoying a whole lot fewer viewers then.
