Question for anyone out there on the #Fediverse .

Is there any kind of #FediverseBusinessAssociation ? A group of folks pulling to run businesses either on the fediverse or supporting the fediverse or anything?

Right now we're all separated and attempting to figure out how to fund the Fediverse and how to make money ON the Fediverse. But do we have a group where we can all discuss what does and doesn't work?

Gather the experiences of people that have run businesses in the past and all work together to figure this out?

If every U.S. adult moved just one $40 gift
from Amazon to a small business this holiday season...

We'd redirect $10+ BILLION to support small businesses. The power of your purse. Wield your power wisely.

OK - despite the fact that #money is *pretty* tight right now, I did a pledgey thing. I don't do pledgey things very often... I think the last thing I pledged was the #Pebble watch. Which I loved, and so did lots of other folks. So, this means I have incredible taste, and you should definitely do a pledgey thing too. Put your #fediverse millions into @bonfire c/o their Indiepledgey place... here

@lowqualityfacts Making change has always been difficult for me. I’d hand over a dollar and ask for 8.818 ounces of pennies. But that’s only want to give me 0.8 ounces of quarters. That screws me out of a whole 8.018 ounces of metal.

A lot of things matter to me in choosing what I work on, and who I work for. Money is one. It isn't the only one. It isn't even the most important one. I have an in-my-head sliding scale I use - the better your work matches my #ethical framework, the less #lucre it takes to convince me to help you.

So if you're using "AI" to build #algorithmic pricing systems to sell to companies so they can #gouge people needing services in their most #desperate hour? I *might* entertain a rate of $1000 per hour to shit on your head. There isn't enough #money in the world to get me to help you build that stuff.

On the other hand, if you're a small #company, selling actual #goods or #services to #customers who want and need them, as opposed to building something #shiny to attract the rubes so you can sell your audience to the #advertising industry? And you need a techie person?

Let's talk.
