@pyry love this idea for federated conspicuous consumption

@sonya federation is going to make getting money from difficult, but somehow we have to carry on

@pyry @sonya
Blackmail them for you to not mute their toots on your instance. The more users, the more money.

@pyry @sonya Brands can die, for all I care.

Although, if enough people embraced it, brands could hypothetically live on their own domains. This is also true for news outlets, which could just syndicate their articles through OStatus instead of RSS.

@deadsuperhero @pyry tbh I love that idea — as others have mentioned, this can also serve as verification, like you'd know that @sonyamann@mastodon.inc.com was the real Sonya Mann in her role as a journalist, and be able to identify impersonators

@pyry and just give people collector edition avatars/emjoi that you can only get by paying, so that they can demonstrate how rich they are to others

"They oughta make an account cost five thousand dollars"
@pyry I don't want to hang out with people willing to blow $1000/month for basically nothing.
