@jwildeboer Yes, I understand that. In the particular case of paid subscriptions, I don't think we need to extend the standard to make it happen. It's easy to handle the payment out of band, and controlling distribution so it only goes to paying followers is trivially easy. Nobody has enhanced SMTP and IMAP to include payments; it was never necessary.

@jwildeboer I also share with you the concern of having a supernode in the fediverse. Threads is going to be about 90% of the network when it comes online fully for two-way federation. The best way to manage that is to attract many other small, medium-sized and large networks so it goes back down to under 50%. In other words: the most sustainable fediverse is a big fediverse.
