I just signed up, took like 30 minutes to be approved (daytime in Euro region). Barely an inconvenience.
Hmm. How busy is your instance ?
Not very much but we can’t resolve reports fast. Sometimes it takes 10 hours. We’re in same time zone.
I think that in the future there should be a social media where you pay few cents for every post, and mods collect the fees for their work
TBH I don’t like money involvement in social media. Elon’s Twitter proves that, I believe. Also I hate crypto scams so much :)
Well, you probably also don't like working for free. Involving money and attaching price to every post is at least some solution to the problem.
Besides this could be done without crypto - any type money should be equally suitable (at least in theory)
IDK. On Reddit, there are people trying to farm karma, which is some internet points that has no real value.
If we put real money in it, it would be devastating. It should be really balanced to be effective. It’s really dangerous tool I think.
Also I’m spending about $40 monthly from my pocket for this instance, so I don’t care money earnings at all :)

I mean users should pay. Rewarding users with money would be suicidal for any social media.
So many questions come to my mind. I guess we won't know whether it will work or not unless such an example is implemented :) Maybe I'm so used to free social media, the opposite seems illogical 🤔
I mean, for many, even small fee would be a showstopper. This is the biggest issue here - people shitpost a lot for better or worse, because it's free.
Paid model would probably not work for meme boards, but it might work for large technical communities
