@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?

Self-promotion, same as most other platforms. There are already people on here doing so. If you post your e.g. comics for free, there's nothing wrong with linking your website or merch.

However, ads or other forms of monetization within the fediverse will most likely ruin it.

I agree with the Ads side of things. That's why I was asking if there was any other sort of model that people could use. I guess donations are probably the only thing that people could widely use.
