@stux in fact - the reason why the vast majority of "regular people" are leaving twitter now is because some of the popular people they were following are, simple as that
i assume if you were using an appview (not frontend, backend that acts as like a "search engine" and cacher for PDS data) and PDS (personal data storage, this is where ur profile and whatever you upload lives) that weren't hosted by their company you wouldn't have to pay for any of this
@ipg **I believe the Masto devs are also working on a "sub" system but without any changes to the account
So basically a in-home Patreon for donations 💪 It uses Stripe based API i believe but it's different from Bsky since it won't give any "benefits" and is only there to support the server admin from the hosted server
That way it makes a lot more sense! I still feel Bsky wants to own and contol everything

in reply to lashman • • •Huh indeed!
I wonder, is it "hosted" from them? So you'll pay them for more storage etc
Bsky is still vague for me, i tried setting it all up but i could only get the backend to work
Somehow i still had to use their FE, and i do not want that 😆

in reply to lashman • • •Haha good point!
I'm also staying away from that..
Hopefully this will make more ppl join the Fedi instead of Twitter v1.2

in reply to lashman • • •Yeah, it's often that one must cross the river and the rest will follow
I'm still amazed by how many "famous people" and official alerts etc still use Twitter while knowing the state of the platform

in reply to stux⚡ • • •@stux basically yeah it is hosted from them

in reply to Emma (IPG) • • •@ipg I had such an idea indeed 😉 thanks!
But their sub system, is it also available for devs or only for their internal use?
So let's say someone else can setup a public "paid" server aside from Bsky
