At the moment the internet is flawed, do you think the fediverse is the solution?

The issue is that without marketing or any big scale advertising, the fediverse is never going to take off. Because it is not backed by a big corporation with enough capital like Reddit, it won't ever reach the masses, even with all the advertising the recent Reddit API changes have brought to lemmy and the fediverse, even if Fedi were to be 10x better than anything else.

Any instance starting to use ads would likely lose a lot of users. We don't want to look at ads, they are everywhere and they are poison.

I could see a small membership fee as being more acceptable, like a dollar per month. It's not a big deal for a lot of people. But we are not there yet.

I wasnt referring to adding ads to lemmin, but rather advertise IT outside of lemmy
