Interoperable social media is having a real moment

They’re not done yet. Just announcing (and the verge reporting on it).

Their announcement (here) is quite forceful though, interestingly. The article described it as a manifesto.

    Yea the paid subscription question is the big one here

    What is the question, exactly?

    I assume your Ghost account will become a Fedi account and your articles will be automatically shared with headlines and links to the article, along with federated boosts, likes and comments.

      I suspect it’s more complex than that. If they want any fediverse account to be able to subscribe, which they do, then how do they distribute content only to subscribers and not everyone on their instance?

        Subscribe to the user, not the publication. If they want to actually read the article, they’ll have to log in and give them money.

        This is pure speculation but it makes the most sense to me.

          Yea, that’s the most straightforward for sure … but requires leaving the fediverse. I suspect that there are plans/dreams of being fediverse “native” and enabling the full content/publication to be read from ones fediverse account.
