I think the most likely scenario is that Meta aggressively and opportunistically copycats TikTok, either as a standalone (like they did with Threads trying to capitalize on the Vichy-ification of Twitter) or by bloating Instagram. And does it passingly well enough that teens grudgingly shift.

I was playing around with @itaru2622.bsky.social's #sky #selfhost implementation and I published something that could be helpful: github.com/eddieoz/bsky...
"Copenhagen’s city government reported in early July that 62% of its residents are now commuting to work or school by bike — an increase from 52% in 2015 and 36% in 2012." (and most of the rest by public transportation)www.latimes.com/world-nation...

Interesting read! I haven’t looked at what happened to the Web Monetization API. I do think that meta tags or a file in site root are the right spot for this: you can already put written text in a page and this is primarily for programmatic usage. Or… an #atproto solution! 🧵
Briefly, the ILF is currently rebuilding the Coil system, except with real money. That requires us to comply with a lot of rules and regulations, which is why it took so long. But we're getting somewhere.
Link to the write-up, please? I am not familiar with it.
I don't know what GNU Taler is, though I can ask internally.

Ah, so the original Coil was just a PoC?

Fediverse presence here;
"GNU Taler is a privacy-preserving payment system. Customers can stay anonymous, but merchants can not hide their income through payments with GNU Taler. This helps to avoid tax evasion and money laundering."
I believe Taler are currently doing Proof of Concept experiments in the EU, working with some banks and vendors. Here's it is;

At some point I'm meaning to do a deep dive into digital payment systems. Mapping out all the various layers involved, and where existing institutions and projects fit in the stack. It was one of a number of deep dive research projects that got shelved by 2020 ; )
Yes, Coil was a proof of concept. It worked with "donations" because it didn't have the correct licences to truly work with other people's money.
The system described in the article is exactly what we're trying to recreate.

I'll be watching with interest. I'd very much like to see simple web payments integrated into Takahē using vendor-neutral open standards. Like what @write_as described in that piece.
It could also be a boon to projects like OpenCollective and the various fiscal hosting services that grew out of it.
Something for brave souls. 😉A new development version (10.6) of #steamsky #opensource #rouelike #indiegame is available for download. More information about the latest changes, and download links: thindil.itch.io/steam-sky/de...

It's not just that power users here generate a ton of free content, keeping Bluesky humming. Even despite past disagreements with devs, we have been EVANGELISTS bringing our audiences here and annoying much bigger accounts into doing the same. Growth here has hinged on power user goodwill.
