How does federation work in community views?

What? There are no horny women dying to know me?
Isn't general relativity just a way to interpret reality instead of what reality is?
I mean, just a very accurate model of reality. But anything can be anything in any model, which is cool as long as the model has some kind of utility.

Or, are we accepting that objectively gravity is definetely not a force?
The eternal echoes of humanity endure, unyielding to time's capricious grasp.
And remember, if the page actually had useful content that wasn't click bait or some shit. Be nice... remove the adblocker and reload.
They gotta pay bills too, having infrastructure deployed to serve content is not free. Don't kill their business if they have quality content.
Then you go with an adblock detection blocker detection blocker. Dhu.
Capitalism generally allows for a range of ownership structures, including traditional privately owned businesses, publicly traded corporations, and worker-owned enterprises.
I guess an argument would be that privately owned companies are already too wealthy to allow for fair market competition, but in worker owned companies nothing is stopping them from becoming large corporations that can also do everything a private lobbyist company does. If you don't believe me, just look at your democratically elected capitalist government. Just because something is democratic doesn't mean it will be ethical or fair internally or externally.
Mother. Of. God. Did they really write Kbin in PHP?
I may be talking shit because I'm not a PHP coder, but the times I've seen it, it was a nightmare.
And the fact the author dances around an idea is why I hate reading articles online or watching YouTube videos. They need to drag the content as much as possible to maximize profit. In a 10 minute video they can push more ads, the same way that in a 10 paragraph article they can push more ads in between paragraphs or on the sides.
I think this quality of content problem vs monetization isn't exclusive to social media.
Yeha, if they are pushing this, the least they can do is lower the amount of ads.
2 ads before a video starts is just too much. Also the constant ads during the videos. Screw that.
No more YouTube for me I guess.

Is thi$ what I think it is about?
(sh.itjust.works)
I saw that this instance had a large number of users so I thought "more users->more content->more fun". Apparently, I had to prove my value by answering 3 questions that showed my interest in their community and my value as a potential future member.
What could possibly be my value to a general purpose instance besides money? I'm a software/cloud engineer so I guess there are things I could help with, but my guess is they were expecting me to say "I can donate".
I get it, they need donations to exist, but this upfront? And to a community I don't even know? Maybe I'm imagining things and they were looking for something else?
Do all instances rely on donations? I'd like to contribute to the instances I enjoy at some point. But only if I feel at home with them, not as a prerequisite to join.
