Gregory's ServerAre there any straight-up paid subscription #fediverse servers?
I don't think I have ever come across one. Are there?

@boris @SocialCoop @coop Social.coop is a pay-what-you-can model, I believe, and the sign-up page of cosocial.coop doesn't really say anything about money?  @J12t I always understood SocialCoop as there is a suggested full price but that part of sign up supports people who can’t afford it. I agree that’s not clear. I am setting up #CoSocialCa with @evan & team - we’re asking $50CAD per year and that’s on the blog home page https://cosocial.info/ @J12t @evan if you can tell me how to do that, I’d happily edit that page. AFAICT it means forking core Mastodon. Public issue filed https://github.com/CoSocial-Canada/notes/issues/12  @J12t

 @redegelde I'm trying to figure out what a reasonable "steady-state" funding model for the fediverse would look like that supports 10x or 100x the users of today and has a very low servers-going-out-of-operation ratio over the long term. Not sure I can see that something donation-based can do this... @J12t yes good one. For now its based on growing. I changed ones to bigger server. So if its stable low user cost. Get bigger more cost. But let say my 522 users pay each 0.15 the month i am covered  |
@J12t both @SocialCoop and @coop #CoSocialCa would qualify? It’s just that they are ALSO co-ops
