A notable quote from the thread:
"Exactly, and that makes the cost of running one completely neglible. LXMF is so efficient that it can handle millions of users on a Raspberry Pi and a 256 GB SD card. When something is that cheap, how are you realistically going to monetise it? There's no point. Leaves you to focus on the things that are hard to provide for monetisation.
...a very general theme in everything I have implemented around Reticulum is to base reasoning on physical resource limits and prioritising how they are utilised.
Within this conceptual framework, it's possible to create functional (truly) decentralised application where cost is so distributed that it is neglible for every user. Not using memory resources that are available is actually more costly than giving them away for free, on a societal level.
When you have Reticulum fully deployed, there is no need for costly "servers" that centrally handle compute and memory demands. The concept is unneccesary when everyone can reach everyone. At our current level of technology, we have all the compute and memory we can possibly need, it's only the transport layer that is lacking immensely behind.
There's no point in trying to monetise the water you swim in."
