I would also welcome decent micropayments (maybe digieuro?), so that you wouldn’t need to subscribe, but could pay 0.045€ for something without it being unfeasible because of fixed transaction costs.

My point exactly. Why do we get ads on something we pay for with money?

I can only approve of people paying for services they use. It isn’t free to run. But there are several things to consider:

• $1/year is very low, transaction fees for accepting that amount of money are high
• It’s a low price for successful bots
• Doesn’t remove ads (take money from subscribers or advertisers, not both, also print media)
• Doesn’t give you better control over your experience. The paying customer should be the one being listened to
• This is Elon Musk’s twitter we’re talking about, how long until he changes his mind again?

Another surge on mastodon? Countries, cities, public organisations should put up their own mastodon like EU, BBC and Germany have.
