Good question. Would love that!

If BlueSky is full of Jew hate, "it's legion", but you’re still using it over Mastodon and Mbin, doesn’t that contradict the idea that antisemitism makes a platform unattractive? If it were your main issue, wouldn’t both be equally bad? Seems like the deciding factor is engagement for you personally, not what moderation happens or doesn't happen.

If antisemitism were the real deal-breaker, you wouldn’t be on BlueSky either.

Inevitable crash of the Streaming Wars, the period of rapid growth is at an end. The pricing was enticing for a reason, because the economy enabled rapid growth in the then new streaming space. Content is still king and investing in great content just got wat more expensive when the interest rates went up. This means the services need to actually become profitable or get out of the game for how expensive it is.

Now it will be a question of what service is able to last, who buys who and what content owners will go back to selling their content to those who remain.

Some more speculations from me:

  • We'll see more price increases across the board, and limitations of how you can watch content. (Thanks NF)
  • Ad free packages will become more expensive, or might even leave eventually.
  • Subscriptions with ads will become way more popular.
  • Smaller players like Peacock and Showtime might decide to just sell to who ever pays most and cease operations for their app.
  • Netflix and Disney might introduce new subscriptions that only offer a subset of their library

Edit: I think it is also likely that monthly subscriptions will become semi monthly or even a minimum of 3 - 6 months. If that doesn't happen, then series will become even way more spread out in their release dates as is currently the case. (Season 1: The Fall, Season 1: Gradient etc.)

Not worth it imo. Reddit doesn't get any more of my time, if it isn't necessary.

Exactly my response too. Like this inexperienced mod takes the sub by playing nice with the admins and the first thing they want to implement is identity verification? Dafaq

Does he know he is a 'Reddit' mod?

Hey @ruud@lemmy.world, fellow SysAdmin here! Thank you for hosting this Lemmy instance! It's a great place, uptime has been excellent!

I've a question, if you're willing to give your opinion. Hardware is not cheap and eventually it might become impossible to pay the bills to host this instance.

What kind of support model do you envision for the future of this instance? Donations, subscription, advertisements?

Thanks anyway, and good luck to you!

Edit: I see that donations are already optional. Nice! But i'm still curious, so is there other options you've considered for your Mastadon instance for example?
