    I really do not think that they are aiming to join the fediverse , the subscription model really suggests they want your money and have broadcast aspirations. I also think that the offerings are fairly low level atm of course that might change but I doubt it.

      Not sure where your getting broadcast aspirations from.

      Nebula was created by a bunch of youtubers. Mostly the video essay types. They didn’t like that videos got demonotized so easily if they mearly mentioned a controversy. So they created their own system that’s subscription funded so they don’t have to worry about advertisers.

      I wouldn’t want them to abandon their subscription model. Just make it easier to use and distribute from within the fediverse.

      I think subscription models are good and should become normalised for things like artists and more serious content creators.

        Fediverse being hot right for all things social media now doesn’t mean that everything should go that route.

        It’s like everything went blockchain in 2019 and everything is going AI in 2023. Some things are fine as they are and they don’t need to follow the current buzzword.

          Sure. All I’m taking about though, and this is really all that the fediverse is about, is a standard format (ie ActivityPub) for the distribution of data over the internet somewhat similar to HTTP and SMTP for web pages and email.

          They don’t need a platform or an app and decentralised instances or anything … just some presence that allows their creators and links to their videos to be easily sharable on here.
