In preparation for #FediForum and various other things, I'd love to hear people's opinions on:

* what are the next three things we need to accomplish in the #Fediverse? (anything goes, from tech to moderation to funding to ...)

* how would we go about this?

At the upcoming #FediForum I hope that people discuss the options to integrate a payment system into the #Fediverse that will allow creators to get paid for the articles, videos, music and other art they present.

Having a payment or micro-payment system might attract many creatives to the Fediverse, which will solidify the Fediverse as the place where cultural discourse occurs.

@paulschoe Do you have a proposal for how this would work?

Paul Schoe

A #Fediverse payment system to support creators would ideally:

- be a system like PayPal or Buy-me-a-Coffee.

- operate with the main Fediverse platforms so that they enable a 1-button system on posts to connect content to payments.

- be a foundation that shares any created profits back to the Fediverse System Admins of the instances where the contributors come from.

- have a name that presents the culturally intended purpose of the system (like Buy-me-a-Coffee).

@J12t in the words of Linus Torvalds, the goal is "World domination, fast!"

The best way to go about this is left as an exercise for the reader :)

@muzzle So how does "world domination" look like for you? Because I think it's a bit tricky to define without falling into the same hole that Facebook et al are in.

@J12t I was joking, but I'd define world domination as activity pub becoming the de facto standard for social media, with the big names (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok...), and the small, competing over who has the best access to the fediverse and playing fairly to expand and extend the protocol.

This would require winning a cultural battle, changing the mind of billion of people to expect their social experience to be as open as the telephone system.
