I’ve been thinking a lot recently about PeerTube, Loops, Bandwagon, and other platforms in the Fediverse that are geared around artists. I might get flamed for this, and you’re welcome to disagree, but I think the network is in dire need of having support for commerce.

Not “Big Capitalism” commerce, but the ability for people to buy and sell things, support projects, and commission their favorite creators to keep making more stuff.

Keep it away is my strong advice. Having to deal with banks will mean having to deal with regulations. Having to deal with crypto means having to deal with crytpo bros. Having to deal with paywalls is a barrier to entry

The internet was a better place without money touching everything!

Having to deal with crypto means having to deal with crytpo bros

The internet was also a better place when people using it were more open minded

Open minded to being scammed? No thanks.

If 99.9% of PCs were solely made to steal your credit card info, then yes.
