I just love how they are creatively making both content and money out of it with some decent work put in.

I’d read it as the physical cash leaving your hands in a transaction, so I guess you could order something to be delivered in X amount of time.

Thanks for explaining it in detail, I was along the right lines but this added much more depth to my knowledge.

Does the ability for other servers to be able to de-federate themselves from Meta provide any mitigation or challenges for Meta in their ability to do achieve EEE? In my mind, it would be a useful tool to utilise at any point but especially early on (like has been proposed) in order to curtail corporate control.

It is extremely harmful when people like them go around non-tankie left wing subs and eventually gain control through nefarious means and eventually transition it into yet another tankie propaganda sub. Or when they moderate a supposedly general left wing sub but any criticism of authoritarian communism gets you muted and called a liberal, eventually allowing their propaganda to seep through to regular socialists as any criticism is shot down. /r/GreenAndPleasant is guilty of the latter.

It’s not really the politics but the way power hungry people get.
