#Wikimedia and AO3 have that from what I can tell but they both rely on donations to keep the servers running

I am once again daydreaming of making my own social media platform and how to make it not give a hoot about American laws (no relation to American soil, I'm European anyway) and be structurally resistant to enshitification through independence and community ownership unfortunately I am one inexperienced programmer with not much spare change to throw at such a gamble so I'm only daydreaming
#sfw#personal#ok to reblog#I wanna minimize costs to minimize the need for it to make money in any way. No appealing to advertisers or investors.#Wikimedia and AO3 have that from what I can tell but they both rely on donations to keep the servers running#(I don't shame them obviously but it's difficult and unreliable especially if you're not as big and well known as them)#I know I'm way out of my depth trying to figure out a way to use servers differently but again only daydreaming#At least I'm not the guy saying I wanna make 'the new PDF' lmao#or the guy firing programmers based on how many lines of code they write and replacing a brand name known to most humans with 1 letter#or the guy suggesting users should be able to 'devowel' articles#or whoever's deciding to replace volunteer translators with AI and remove every single useful feature#or a thousand other bad ideas for making more money and stroking their egos. man I just want a little island of weird internet surviving#and yeah alternatives exist but I don't know how they'll avoid dying or surviving wrong either
