@dansup brings up an important point. I don't know of a lot of Fediverse developers who have received grants from the Canadian government. I built pumpio.org almost entirely with SR&D credits for StatusNet. That's the best example I can think of.
Given how many of us there are here, and how important the Fediverse is to our digital sovereignty, shouldn't there be more funding available?
I have a big civic vision of what we're doing here ( #DemocracyOfReach) but otherwise...
I don't think there's wide agreement on what problems we are solving. people don't see social media as essential and so why does it need to be decentralized? who cares about more entertainment options, we have plenty. and the establishment would rather a few people control the information/opinion flow anyway. and can't we just text or email each other? that's basically decentralized already.
