in reply to pixelfed • • •can you elaborate? where is the money coming from?
*edit: so they updated their post; let's see.. "The Web Monetization API allows websites to automatically and passively receive payments from Web Monetization-enabled visitors."
So I guess that's a bit like Patron, but integrated directly into Pixelfed?
I guess it could work, but I'm always a bit wary when money is involved in anything..

Why?
Why involve payments. Why risk the anger of refugees? What does it gain the users of the platform?
What problem is it a solution to?

in reply to froufox 🥀 • • •Sure, but aren't there ways to do this already, outside of the fediverse? Do we need the fediverse to do everything? I feel that as soon as money is involved, things start to be exploited by companies and will quickly degenerate into enshittification world

in reply to El Duvelle • • •El Duvelle
in reply to pixelfed • • •Are the mutual aid posts an example of what you want to do with Pixelfed? I thought you were suggesting something more integrated. I don't think you can directly pay a mutual aid poster from the fedi?
But I guess it's a good example, as we've recently seen waves of mutual aid spam: this is definitely being exploited, even though the payment is not direct. So with direct payment it will probably be worse.
What I prefer is when artists have a link to their website in their profile or in their posts, where I can go if I want to buy things from them.

The Internet takes money to run. There's a limit to how much we can pretend that those running a service or server can just absorb the cost of running or creating something (or needing to eat the cost of expanding to meet demand).
The goal shouldn't be pretending monetization isn't necessary, but to create a way of monetizing unobtrusively that supports the hosts and creators as directly and fairly as possible without runaway capitalistic incentives.

in reply to pixelfed • • •I'm generally wary when money gets involved in things.
I don't wanna judge too fast, but I'm thinking about ways this could potentially go wrong.
Like, maybe this could increase the amount of trash/slob on pixelfed that was put there 100% just to get monetary profits?
And could that spawn botnets that "like & repost" that kind of material, to get more people to see it == more moneys?
Did you consider these kinds of potential hazards, @pixelfed ; has there been enough internal and community debate about this?
Are you sure you aren't naively adding something without giving it enough thought?

in reply to pixelfed • • •direct monetization is something that as an artist I've tried to set up on Pixelfed before, and a working system would be a big deal. Thanks for trying to work on it ❤
My question is unfortunately the same that it has to be for every payment system - will NSFW artists and creators be able to participate, or will we be locked out like we usually are from these things?

in reply to pixelfed • • •Privacy-wise, while the recipient does not get your details, do the "wallet providers" then know all your web history?
Ultimately there is no privacy respecting way to make payments online right now (except some cryptos & maybe gnu Taler) so how does KYC and other legal requirements work with webmonetization ? I found nothing about it in their doc
