I love RFF. In fact I've enjoyed listening to it more than any other online source of music for a long time.

It's a community internet radio station that plays music (and some spoken word) from artists on the Fediverse.
I love it, especially their 'Comfy' channel.
I think that the commission should remain at exactly the same percentage but that they should be required by law to do an amount of work that represents it. Like take home the 20k on Monday but then spend Tuesday to Sunday working full time in whichever brothel gets assigned to you by the buyer. Or participating in concurrent human medical experiments or somesuch.
That sounds like a massive pain in the backside.
Time to pay VAT motherfuckers.
I assumed it was global... What do you use in the US?
Grapefruit from the supermarket must always taste of grapefruit.
Perhaps a new community is called for; something which encourages earnest thinking and open discussion but is not hardcore technical philosophy. I think it should be called 'interestingthoughts' or 'thatsinteresting' or maybe even just 'thoughtful'. There is already 'showerthoughts' but that seems to be a bit more humour-based than what you're talking about.
I would enjoy reading and replying to posts on it and posting to it myself too. I haven't started a community on Lemmy before and I've got quite a bit on my plate at the moment, so I don't think I could take it on as a mod alone but if you want we could try doing it together. Let me know what you think :)
I agree that it can look like people are self-promoting and seeking prestige on social media. I find that following hashtags on Mastodon is a good habit for sidestepping this. It shifts the focus to topics rather than identities. The same goes for Pixelfed. I've got a beautiful feed on Pixelfed made up of different types of art and photography that I like.
Don't take it to heart and remember that there are other posts/comments that received way more downvotes, my own included! I'm sorry to hear you've had a rough time online. I've appreciated this post though and you've had some upvotes, so I'm sure others have too.
Er, what?
