Maybe my expression is not accurate enough. What I want to express is that because Mastodon's biggest advantage is to protect users' personal data, we can't make profits the way Facebook or Twitter does. As you all mentioned, we can obtain Mastodon's operating cost in other ways.

@rochehid the operating cost of Mastodon? I don't know if we should consider this or not.

#mst210 another thing I'm worried about is the cost of Mastodon. If we do not use users' data as behavioral surplus, what can we do to get benefits from doing the platform? Do we need to consider this?

@teyplays Yeah, I love the point you said about strike system! like forcibly block the user's account? For personal conflict, rude messages, maybe we can set some forbidden words?

@teyplays Hi, tea! I also plan to do option B for the final project. I think the biggest difference from the surveillance capitalism of Facebook and Twitter is that Mastodon will not use user data for commercial purposes. However, in order to prevent users from publishing bad content to pollute common areas, we need to formulate some penalties or measures to control users' bad content. I haven't start the writing yet, so I still have no idea about specific guidelines.

hi there😜
