  • Have people pay a small fee to engage with the community. Ad revenue is not the only way to make money, remember the good old days when people actually paid for services that provide value?

    Start with relying on donations and then make make it mandatory if required.

    Ad revenue is a good way to make big profits, not just revenue, not something that we are interested in.




  • Thanks for sharing, that was a nice read. There is something incredible about standing at the base of a 90m tree, awe inspiring. I can’t help to think back to a time when the southern parts of Australia were awash with giant trees, and then the Europeans came and could not cut them down fast enough.

    Is there anywhere that shows what forest coverage would have looked like in Australia prior to European settlement?






  • I don’t really understand this sentiment, I’d rather pay a subscription for a service like fb / insta / reddit than have ads and my identity sold to the highest bidder.

    Social networks are expensive to run, the idea they should be “free” is half the problem.

    Though of course the enterprises behind them make far more money through advertising and mining user data than they would through a subscription model.
