Because some of the big users on those sorts of platforms have really good content that can be helpful and annoying to login to a tracking monster platform like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or any other main stream social media.

I would love for more activity for niche communities

Creators on TikTok in America, if they pass the bill to ban TikTok. What looks likely.

@loops is trying to be some sort of 30 second fediverse alternative.

I'll try to do just that then. Stay active and make this place full of content for people to enjoy.

Creators often have Subreddits and places people want to interact with.

I was more talking about things like PeerTube and the upcoming @loops what is a TikTok Alternative for the Fediverse.

It's a Social network, not a social media. Most people don't know the difference

I would like to see the Fediverse grow overtime, also we haven't had to deal with a Decentralised network across the internet before, who knows what may happen.

I was more asking of the things that may replace platforms like TikTok connected to the Fediverse in the future suck as @loops

I understand not earning money from Mastodon or Lemmy, Just like the Video side of the Fediverse needs a way to earn money without the normal ways.

I agree with the Ads side of things. That's why I was asking if there was any other sort of model that people could use. I guess donations are probably the only thing that people could widely use.

Aww, forget that blackjack and the Hookers too.

So you are willing to let thousands of people lose their job entertaining people... Kind of sucks for a video editor like myself as well as many other people that kind of require the online landscape to survive by allowing people that may not be able to work a normal job to create a living online.

Yeah, that doesn't seem right. Correction 1: I guess, for instance, they may become pay monthly just to have upkeep and moderation covered themselves. That would be an ok thing in my eyes.

But for content creators and stuff, a pay-to-view system isn't really a good idea. Guess it would have to be done through donations instead, as that's the only thing that sort of makes sense.

So with things like @loops on the way, do you think people who will move across to the Fediverse for an alternative if TikTok gets banned should earn there living?

The Fediverse makes sense to me for mass eyes on areas, having your data not sold and stuff, but why can't people earn a living on it like the other parts of the Internet?

So it should be done through donations then?

Ok, why? Donations are easy on any platform, but if you want creators to move across and it makes sense for them, then wouldn't it make sense to find a way they can earn money?

So what's the motivation of Creators coming to the Fediverse? How is the Fediverse going to grow for more people to want to donate to the servers and keep this amazing thing alive.

People make a living online everyday through TikTok, YouTube & even Instagram.

If the Fediverse wishes to make not only a space but a better place for those who use it for personal use but also those creating great content, then we need a way for them to earn money well not taking away the great benefits of no ads on the Fediverse.

To have actual content on here. I hate having to switch between the Fediverse and normal Social Media to get updates on the niche things I enjoy.

Yeah, that's probably the best way that people would move across. Knowing people are moving across to Threads, It could be a good way (once they join the Fediverse) for people to get involved with it and maybe move across to things like Mastodon and Lemmy.

Yeah, I guess I could see how the UI / UX could be a problem for some people. I'm sure it's something that they will improve on overtime.

For a Lemmy Alternative, there's Kbin what's pretty visually pleasing but can be complex compared to Lemmy to learn.
