@wjmaggos @pj @cwarzel.bsky.social what an interesting idea. I was wondering about a federated substack a while back... That would be interesting, how to pay creators on fedi?

@craiglambie42 @pj @cwarzel.bsky.social I think #ghost and #wordpress are doing that. to pay creators, I think we need a protocol and then an autopay system based on a monthly amount we are willing to give, distributed based on time with a creator's works. #interledger #PublicPatron

@craiglambie42 > I was wondering about a federated substack a while back... That would be interesting, how to pay creators on fedi? Ghost does this by allowing publications to be followed in the fediverse, then using a standard payment processor (Stripe) to accept payment for subscriptions and tips; https://ghost.org/help/alternative-payment-gateways/ A decentralised payment protocol is the holy grail, of course, but see ... https://the.socialmusic.network/t/making-your-own-payment-processor/639 Poke: @bandwagon @wjmaggos @pj @cwarzel.bsky.social
