@Moon oh I missed "free/free-ish" somehow. Everything will at least require the resources to run the hardware that makes it possible so free is impossible, methinks you can't go lower than the costs of a sensible contract on a sensible blockchain, best you could do is have volunteers or publicly funded organisations that pay it/run it for people to make it "free".
@Moon what doesn't?
@Moon Man, if only there was a public ledger with no central authority that could be used to set up such a system. Preferably using some kind of universal software everyone has the source of and universal access to, that could enforce it like contracts. That would be pretty smart.

Org@moffintosh resource allocation is the primary reason capitalism works unlike wishful thinking-based systems. Underestimating its difficulty and importance is how you get hellholes people hijack planes to get out of.
@moffintosh @thor both made it possible, one dedicated the resources, the other used them. Both sides are very important, but when talking about a guy funding a whole company, it's easier to attribute it to him, especially since he gathered the people and made the whole thing possible in the first place.
On one side you have someone risking a substantial portion of their life savings, on the other one working to increase them.
@moffintosh @thor which he set up and funded with his own money when it was so risky that no state organisations nor conventional investors would've done it, thanks to which he brought down prices of launching shit into orbit and made the whole industry more ecological.

I'd like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Mastodon, is in fact the federated universe or as I've recently taken to calling it, the Fediverse. Mastodon is not a social network unto itself, but rather another component of a fully functional federated network made useful many other instances, such as Misskey, Pleroma, Akkoma and Peertube compromising a full federated social network as defined by the ActivityPub protocol.
Many computer users run a modified version of a Fediverse instance every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the type of Fediverse instance which is widely used today is often called "Mastodon", and many its users are not aware that it is basically part the Fediverse, developed by many other projects.
There really is a Mastodon, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Mastodon is only a single type of Fediverse instance: a program in the network that operates as a single node that interoperates with all the other types of nodes that you interact with. Mastodon is an essential part of the Fediverse, but useless by itself; it can only be functional in the context of a fully federated universe. Mastodon is normally used in combination with many other instances: the whole system is basically the federated universe with Mastodon added, or the Fediverse. All the so-called "Mastodon" distributions are really distributions of platforms that interoperate with the ActivityPub protocol.
@Ganderonus którego używasz? Bo widzę że są dwa.
@Moon watched a part of a youtube video on the entire thing being a conspiracy of alt-right nazis xD "Proof" being obvious signs of authors being shitposters that thought including masked SS symbolism in a project designed to scam wannabe crypto kings was some real funny stuff. Which, well, yeah.
@Ganderonus Dobry Boże. Istnieje bridge do Messengera. Czemu dotąd o tym nie wiedziałem? Teraz mogę przestać używać tej przeklętej strony.
@thor I really don't like the way they call it a "privilege", as if statistically having life suck a bit less was some kind of gift from god that guarantees success. Disrespecting the struggles of people based on the stereotypes about the colour of their skin is precisely the kind of racism the people that perform it claim to fight.
@icedquinn @thor @Vedrfolnir @abhijith @realcaseyrollins > whenever you think "what would Jesus do" remember that flipping tables and chasing people with a whip is not outside the realm of possibilities.
@realcaseyrollins @abhijith @thor @Vedrfolnir the certainty you have in your version being right despite having evidence of hundreds of millions of people thinking the same about theirs is amazing.
