My opinion is that if the fediverse would set up an online shopping page where people can sell things and the site owners would get a cut of the proceeds that that would kill two birds with one stone.
One, the fediverse could be profitable for the site owners, and two, we could break our reliance on sites like eBay and OfferUp and let go and Facebook and Amazon for selling goods to one another.
You wouldn't even have to worry about payment processors because the United States government now has an instant money transfer service that you can utilize instead of MasterCard and Visa, and if that failed zelle would be another good option.
I have the idea and it's essentially worthless without implementation so if anyone wants to take it on it would be much appreciated because that is a change I would love to see in the world.
Idk with money come certain responsibilities to customers and taxes. Makes starting an instance much more of a headache. +1 for the idea though.
