Even non-profits aren't immune to hostile takeovers. OpenAI is a for-profit company controlled by a non-profit, and that hasn't stopped them from turning into something indistinguishable from a regular for-profit company. They've also been making noise about abandoning the fig leaf of the non-profit.
Mozilla is another one where nominally they're a for-profit controlled by a non-profit, but they're now getting into shoving ads in your face just like any other company.
It is harder to turn bad when you're a non-profit but not impossible, without something of a poison pill that makes it unacceptable to for-profit takeovers.
I think supporter badges would be a good monetization model for each instance. ActivityPub could allow for an arbitrary "badge" field (to my knowledge it doesn't currently have anything like this but I also haven't read the spec), and each server could fill it in however it likes. Other servers/users could limit displaying them if they get abused, à la pig poop balls on hexbear (or whatever it's moved on to being called now).
I really like sculptures. I generally don't care for staring at paintings, but if it's 3D then I'm in. Really liked a Matisse exhibit I saw a while back
Sort-of-not-really for Lemmy. Posts you make show up in the Fediverse with a hashtag set to the community name, e.g. my posts in !loops@midwest.social show up on Mastodon under the #loopshashtag. You can't really follow or interact with hashtags from Lemmy, though 1.0 is bringing some ability to tag things, so maybe it'll start working better? You can also somehow post from Mastodon using tags so that it shows up in a Lemmy community, but I don't see people using that too often.
The userbase is small enough that hashing would be easy cracked by a determined person. Even with salting, iterating through the entire userbase and hashing each username+salt to check for a match would probably not take long
It's too broad of a question. The right to be forgotten in the sense of "Google can't data-mine the shit out of you and track your poop schedule", yes. In the sense of "Musk wants to delete videos of him doing a Nazi salute because he's facing the consequences for being a piece of shit", no. A better term might be a "right to privacy", which gets less applicable as you become more of a public figure or affect the public at large.
Over on the linked page? They've got custom "emojis", which are just pictures uploaded by an admin. Lemmy has that feature in general, but it's not used much on other instances. If it's enabled on your instance, you can type : to select from all regular emojis plus custom ones.
DNS is the most neoliberal shit system that too many have just accepted as how computers work and always worked to the point where I have heard actual landlord arguments deployed to defend it
