that they are offended on behalf of their community members
I'm talking about cases where there aren't any community members to speak of.

you just take out the trash
I don't know what it is, maybe it's some form of ikea effect, where people think that the act of filling a form, adding an icon and a description makes them immediately attached to something that (initially) amounts to a record field in a database.
I've lost count of how many people I asked "Hey, I saw you are the mod of , I am running <slightly active/mostly inactive community on topic-specific instance>. How about we join forces?" And almost invariably they act like I am asking them to give me their firstborn.
Language changes. "porn" has been used to express "visually stimulating imagery" and "simulacra of the real activity" for quite some time. There is nothing dumb about appending porn to the SFW subreddits, because there is no better expression (*) to succintly express that those subs are not made for deep/meaningful discussion.
(*) Maybe it could work with "obsession" or "fetish", but the pearl-clutching crowd would also criticize the sexual connotation.
No real benefit in promoting this over !unixporn@lemmy.world. If you were at least creating the community in a different instance, I'd be happy to help.
If you'd like to reconsider and help reduce the reliance on LW, I can create a community for you on https://poweruser.forum/.
C2S has a very specific usage, and if you meant "regular clients", you'd do better by qualifying the API you were talking about by specifying the application - i.e, Mastodon, Lemmy - than by throwing a meaningless term.
c2s api like most other bots
Maybe you mean "bots using the ad-hoc APIs from the servers"? AFAIK, there is no server implementing C2S ActivityPub, so it would be hard to have bots making use of them?

- Sign up to Fediverser
- Search for communities for your interests.
- The community should be associated with a subreddit. If it's not, you can make a suggestion for the change.
- Apply to become a Community Ambassador. I'll approve it. Once you are approved, you will be able to do the following:
- See the posts from the subreddit that is associated to the community.
- Send DMs to people on Reddit, inviting them to join Lemmy and your community
- Add other sources of contents (RSS feeds)
There were more things that I had planned, such as the ability to do one-click repost of interesting links, but I didn't get to it because that would mean effectively that I would have to turn the fediverser site into a an alternative Lemmy frontend.
I really wish more people had taken on the "Community Ambassador" work that I've done for https://fediverser.network/. It could be really helpful in creating a focal point for everyone that wanted to help the migration of people interested in a specific niche.
She touches on the aspect of monetization and claims that "you could save money by being on the Fediverse".
Yes, in theory it is possible. In practice this is something that only is available for the already-famous journalists who have enough pull to move their audience from Substack to their own property.
For everyone else, the Fediverse is (a) too small and (b) too "anti-money" to encourage professionals to even try making a living here. They stay on Substack for the same reason that video creators stay on YouTube: it's a horrible master, but at least it lets them pay their bills.

You have no idea how wrong you are, but if this is what you need to believe to sleep at night, I won't be able or interested in changing your mind.
Quite on the contrary, if anyone seriously tried that it would fail quickly and just result in burned investments
What do you think that Automattic, Flipboard and Ghost are doing? Do you think they are paying people to develop integrations with AP because they are really nice people and have zero intentions of profiting from their investments?
Look, I better leave this conversation. I should have learned by now that there is no point in arguing with ideologues.
