Sure, some of them are doing it for hobby, but most of professional comic artist that post freely on internet are doing patron or various monetizing way.
You must be not familiar with entire creative ecosystem.

Creators like illustrator, comic artist, cosplayer, or blogger needs money to sustain their works.
Fediverse is not anti creators. There are a lot of attempt (especially Japanese fediverse community) to embrace this demography.
It’s possible to create pro-creator service without making fediverse succumb to corporate greed.
After all, fediverse should be all about inclusivity. If you don’t like creators, just block them.
Fediverse is all about inclusivity. You want to create your own community? Sure. You don’t like creators? Just block them.
It’s not about commodification of culture, but realizing that all illustrator, comic artist, writer, and designer are in the end still have to make money for their living.
Even Lemmy, Mastodon, or any FOSS software still need funding to make it works.
It’s possible to make creators on fediverse feels like their home without all corporate greed. Even right now, a lot of comic artist and writers are making their way here, posting their creativity on various instance.
I wonder if people that JavaScript is indirectly named from an ethnic group in Indonesia.
Javanese ethnic -> Java Island -> Javanese coffee -> Java programming language -> JavaScript
It’s still usable if you’re not on English side of Twitter.
For example, recent Indonesian political movement relied on Twitter for discussion and updates. Mastodon or any fediverse is simply too niche and most people don’t have money to fund local general instance. There were several local fedi instance (Mastodon and Lemmy), but all of them quickly dead for low donation.
Japanese-side is still alive (in positive manner) but people are making backup account on Bluesky and Japanese Misskey instances.
AlternativeTo is crowdsource, so one individual might find software A as suitable alternative, while others are not.
The same way that some people find GIMP enough to replace Photoshop, while others prefer Affinity Photo, Paint.NET, or Photopea.
I personally find so many cool underrated FOSS software, such as Inochi2D, AB Download Manager, Miria, OpenUTAU, Our Paint, Mihon, and Wick Editor.
Yep! There are so also many niche applications people never heard.
I regularly checking it for any FOSS alternative to any closed-source software. For example: Inochi2D, AB Download Manager, Miria, OpenUTAU, Our Paint, and Wick Editor.
Except that’s not what happens.
Just take a look at Facebook. Tons of AI generated slop with tens or even hundred thousands likes and people actually believing them. I live in Indonesia, and people often shares fake things just for monetisation engagement and ordinary people have no skill no discern them.
You and I, or even every person here are belong to the rare people that actually able to discern information properly. Most people are just doom scrolling the internet and believing random things that appears to be realistic. Especially for people where tech eduation and literation are not widespread.
Upload them to YouTube or Bilibili. Japanese music fandom tends to archive everything that not available anymore on YouTube and rarely get taken down.
That way, newer generation can discover them. Just like city pop.
Bad example. There are plenty of non-profit FOSS services that do well and serve the community.
Lol they need to shut down in Indonesia as well Twitter regularly accept censorship request from Indonesian government
You should read Thunderbird donation statement.
They got 6 million USD of donation back in 2022.

Oh, being annoying to casual user makes them anti to whatever we promote.
The keyword is being moderate and helpful. Not forceful or annoying.
Most of actively maintained extension are from Keiyoushi, which is open source and community maintained.
It has 1300+ extension from various sites and platform across diverse languages.
As much as I love Linux for mobile idea, it doesn’t have a lot of apps that people rely, like banking or government related stuff.

It’s just your average cultural clash.
Most people on internet are accustomed with English naming culture. Meanwhile when people from non-Western (mostly US) making name that seems cool in their culture, it often lead to cultural clash. This also applies to symbol, gesture, etc.
You would be surprised that numbers of FOSS project from East Asia not having updated information/license/documentation in English.
Especially Japanese one, it’s one of the hardest language that even if people had a middle level certification like JLPT N3, they might still not be able to translate formal document properly.
On other hand, FOSS project from Southeast Asia or South Asia always keeps their English documentation/license/info up to date.
Unfortunately Warmux is now a dead project, with official site taken over by unrelated company and only unofficial Flathub distribution exist.
Even Windows built and other OS is gone.
Again, fediverse is not monolith of culture.
I’m not talking about the article itself, but there’s just too many people on Westwrn fediverse right now expecting everything to be free.
A lot of fediverse instance in East Asian are more welcoming author, even if they post subscriber-only creation.
