@asklemmy How could users Monitise themselves on the Fediverse?

As people possibly move across to the Fediverse to find alternatives, we have to question how people are going to make a living on this amazing platform.

Can it be fully run by donations or is there a better way for people to be paid across the Fediverse?

The motivation is a platform that doesn't revolve around corporate greed

So it should be done through donations then?

Creators can set up patreon accounts or ko-fi accounts if they want, but it shouldn't be integrated into Lemmy.

That's fair enough, Yeah love Ko-Fi as I run one for an Org that I helped create.

I guess Ko-Fi and other alternatives could be a good way for people to earn money without all the other crap that normal social media has.
