@stefan I think I can see where some are coming from. There is a joy in being somewhere where I’m not being sold anything, and that’s been how Fediverse has been for awhile, and I can appreciate wanting to resist a bunch of businesses showing up on the fediverse seeing it as an untapped market to extract money from.
At the same time, community spaces IRL tend to have some commercial activity and that doesn’t make a space inherently bad. And I love seeing indie people make stuff on here!
