I'm not against adding monetization features in @pixelfed, but only if they work for users and give them 100% of any profit/proceeds.

The easiest way for this is to allow and embrace external links to your own store/platform.

We don't need crypto or some other form of payment in exchange for impressions because we don't have ads, and we aren't in this for money.

A platform for the people, by the people, can thrive this way I think!
