My initial response was a recollection of the plot of The Kingsman.

Sticking implants in brains for fun is stupidity on a stick.

Implants are already used to control some forms of epilepsy, however these are on the vagus nerve and not in the brain. This sort of application makes sense.

Most of Europe including anyone in UK under 60, Asia, Japan, China, Australia. People in engineering and science.

Not many use Fahrenheit.

Cribbage, mainly because I like calling out 'one for his knob '.

But realistically, on Social Media what's a friend?
None of them are going to buy you a drink, go along to a gig or help you move house.

Online friends are over rated.

Most Mastodon, Friendica, Calckey instances accept donations.

It is likely that kbin/Lemmy instances will likely follow the same model.

Advertising would not work on the Fediverse as the adverts would be blocked by other instances so the spread would be very limited so not attractive commercially.

That is one of the beauties of the federated model.
Also, as there is no algorithm or data about user interests there's no scope for advert targeting which advertisers would want.

The whole ethos of the #Fediverse is anti commercial.

Possibly. I'm not into commitment.
