@lowqualityfacts

This is actually a high-quality fact.

@lowqualityfacts I don't understand why everything has to be "profitable" anyway. We've made everything - art, hobbies, healthcare, education, humanity in general - a commodity, and that's part of why the world sucks so bad lately. I hate that the world only values things that make money. *steps poutingly off of soapbox*

@lowqualityfacts

That is a high quality fact what is happe

@lowqualityfacts Then how come I can’t sell my handmade skin peel serums made from my real skin on here?!

@lowqualityfacts “the fediverse isn’t profitable”

@lowqualityfacts Careful there. You followed up your low quality fact with a very high quality fact!

@lowqualityfacts When the social platform is good at facilitating social communication between humans and not advertising and propaganda :blobcatreeeeeee:

@lowqualityfacts Profit is the least meaningful measure of success

@lowqualityfacts That's why multi-billion dollar corps better stay on dying corporate networks like twitter or develop a kind of social responsibility that fits real social media & could well lead to a beneficial coexistence of both.

#Mastodon #SocialMedia #Integrity #Freedom #Democracy #Responsibility

@lowqualityfacts Anyone who even says “The fediverse isn’t profitable” as an argument to anything doesn’t belong in the fediverse.

@lowqualityfacts It certainly isn't profitable for Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk.

@lowqualityfacts false advertizing this is actually a high quality fact

@lowqualityfacts Yuppers!!!

@lowqualityfacts
Reminds me, I gotta get to work on some more creations & stick it to the corporate feudalists

@lowqualityfacts

It's like saying capitalism "brought people out of poverty" when they were living on a farm outside the market and now have to work in a factory

@lowqualityfacts Maybe. I can’t trace a single sale of my book back here. But, then again, I can’t trace more than 3 back to Twitter. I suspect social media is only profitable for social media people.

@lowqualityfacts let's see how F*book's try ends up.

@lowqualityfacts That's it!

@lowqualityfacts How morally bankrupt is our culture when the question of "is something valuable" has been boiled down and reduced to "how much money is it worth?"

Oscar Wilde put it best: "A fool is someone who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing." Capitalism has created a culture of foolishness.

@lowqualityfacts well-stated!!

@lowqualityfacts i knew Twitter would never be the same once it went public, but now that it has gone private again, it’s even worse.

i always thought twitter needed to be a nonprofit in order to truly be what it claimed it wanted to be — once upon a time.

@lowqualityfacts And, in any case, why should the question be whether or not it’s “profitable”? Can it not simply be “pleasant” or “humanising” or “productive of community”? To ask whether or not it’s profitable is to fall into the trap of capitalism that monetises and commoditises everything.

#fediverse #capitalism

@lowqualityfacts HAH!!! I KNEW YOU WERE SLIPPING!!! THIS IS A LEGITIMATE HIGH QUALITY FACT!!!!!!!!!

@lowqualityfacts And this is why I like it here!

@lowqualityfacts agreed with this. it gets a boost.

@lowqualityfacts I am here, and I like the fediverse - and I also agree with most of these replies. I do also want to point out something basic: servers and bandwidth and electricity and tech support - are not free. A lot of regular people are/were employed by those evil corporations you are complaining about. Try to remember that they’re all not the billionaire owners, they’re just regular people. Who pays for all the costs of the fediverse as it grows beyond hobby scale?

@lowqualityfacts high quality facts.

@lowqualityfacts late stage truth posting.

@lowqualityfacts

>

the fediverse isn't profitable.

Yes, and that is a very important feature

@lowqualityfacts It's not profitable for artists who can't bring the followers they rely on to mastodon, because it's UX hostile and the largest instances are gatekept.

@lowqualityfacts maybe the profit motive doesn't have to be the overriding consideration in every aspect of our lives?

@lowqualityfacts

Yup HIGH Quality, but needs saying and often.

@lowqualityfacts obligatory “high quality fact” comment

# 8 out of ???

@lowqualityfacts I wish I could connect with more of these creative types. Don't seem to be many of them about.

@lowqualityfacts
This FAILS the Low Quality Fact Check.

@lowqualityfacts also anybody saying it's not profitable is a bad thing got the big brainrot

@lowqualityfacts
Stated another way,

"The fediverse isn't profitable"

"Then your definition of 'profit' is defective and unhealthy."

@lowqualityfacts You gotta stop with these high quality facts! You are ruining your reputation

@lowqualityfacts look, we came here for *low* quality facts

@lowqualityfacts your suppose to be low quality facts but thus is high quality :QueerCatHeart_Trans:

@lowqualityfacts Seems your reputation is profiting... 😁

@lowqualityfacts This is a high quality fact! I've been bamboozled!

@lowqualityfacts but I don't care for profit, I care have a way to connect to people.

By the way, remember that I need to see if the person who care the server accept donations to maintain the instance I am registry.

@lowqualityfacts I’m so tired of “enriches the 1%” as the only metric that seems to matter…

@lowqualityfacts i feel like it just needs a feed based on likes. For now they don't do anything but I'd love to see my following/instance's most liked tweets in the last 24h. That would help small creators be pushed forward. Same with boosts!
