I'm thinking of running a #FediForum session next week on:
Funding the open social web
It appears to cost about $1 / month / user to run a social network, based on public company numbers. (Counting volunteer labor as a donation at market prices.)
If we want the Fediverse to go from its current user numbers to 10x or 100x, and make it possible for most of humanity to get off the toxic platforms, we need to find those 10x or 100x or 1000x resources somehow. Let's brainstorm.
