Software with ads isn't "free" (as in not paid for). We long have a term for that, it's called "#adware". And if it's spying on you while at it, we call it "spyware", or "malicious software" more generally, and remove it.

And programs with paid features aren't "free" either, nor "#freemium" — they're just glorified demo versions.

Let's not let marketing folk manipulate us, and create a world where "shit 2025 hd pro premium+" is the best we can do. Support #FreeSoftware (as in libre), rather than con people.

Programy z reklamami nie są "darmowe". Od dawna mamy już termin na takie programy: nazywamy je "#adware". A jeżeli dodać do tego szpiegowanie użytkownika, to nazywamy to "spyware", albo ogólniej "złośliwym oprogramowaniem", i usuwamy.

A programy z płatnymi funkcjami też nie są "darmowe", ani "#freemium" — to po prostu gloryfikowane wersje demo.

Nie dajmy marketingowcom sobą manipulować, i tworzyć realia, w których ładnie zapakowane "gówno 2025 hd pro premium+" to najlepsze, na co możemy sobie pozwolić. Wspierajmy #WolneOprogramowanie, nie cwaniaczków.

Hey all..

What's the best way to fund a service like #Bandwagon?

I strongly believe that the #Fediverse needs a sustainable funding model to be competitive with BlueSky, Xitter, and Facebook. More than just donations and mutual aid, people should be able to make careers on the Fediverse.

I'm reevaluating how I'll pay for bandwagon.fm in the long term. And I want to make something that's still "free forever"

Do you think there's a place for the #Freemium Fediverse?
