📣 Hey Twtizens! 👋 We would love some feedback from you all on how we can monetize so we can fund ongoing development and maintenance of Twt.social.
So far we’ve got:
- GitHub sponsors (1 so far! Thank you @jlj ! 🙇♂️)
- Patreon sponsors
As you all know, I am very much against selling data for advertising — so I would appreciate not going down that rabbit hole!
All feedback is greatly welcomed and appreciated! 🤗

@prologic Lots of (%@t(PANIC=Format method: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference) ideas on this! :-) One question, to start: what's the goal? Is it sustaining, say, one order of magnitude more in terms of users and pods? Bigger? Or is the current level of engagement fine, if it could support a few developers full-time?=
@prologic Lots of (nascent) ideas on this! :-) One question, to start: what's the goal? Is it sustaining, say, one order of magnitude more in terms of users and pods? Bigger? Or is the current level of engagement fine, if it could support a few developers full-time?
@jlj Appreciate your candidate questions. Let me do my best to answer...
Short-Medium term goals:
- Fund development of a new Mobile App that is sustainable for the currently development team.
- Continue development of intra-pod features, without breaking the Twtxt ecosystem.
Long-term:
- A not-for-profit org that can continue to expand:
- Twt.social (_or whatever_) fully managed pod hosting.
- A set of geographical pods (_which require a combination of pair and volunteer staff to manage_)
- Ongoing development, maintenance.
Does this help answer your q's?

@prologic Thanks! Yes, that definitely helps: bigger than I'd imagined! :-D (Which is great, and very exciting. :-) ) OK, more thought required... I think I'm ready to blog about it, at this point. :-)

If some regional pods can get going. They could each periodically have an in-person social event to fundraise to keep their server online (may have other services like pixelfed and peertube). If the events are successful, the organisers should direct some funds to the developers.
