So, it is really hard for me to share personal things online, but I need to get out of my comfort zone: I was fired from my day job last week and now I need to figure out if I should double down on communick.com or I should keep it as side-project and look for another job. I will make a series of polls to see if there is any viable business. Please boost for visibility.

I believe that the Fediverse can and should be more than a niche thing for those that reject Big Tech.

I also believe that to get there we will need businesses, service providers and professional developers who work on it because they are motivated by more than just “community values” and goodwill. For example, I have quite a bit experience with distributed systems and I know I could work to make Lemmy federation more efficient, but I can only do that if I can secure a stable income.

Please follow the linked Mastodon thread and vote on the polls. The idea is to find out if there are enough people willing to pay for services that can ease their pains with Mastodon/Lemmy/Matrix.
