Strange blog. Kind of ironic allowing only paid users to comment on a blog talking about the Fediverse.
I understand that commercial interests can be intertwined with federation and open source, there’s nothing wrong with that (in principle). Asking for payment just to be able to comment is something else though. Donate now to discuss the future of open web standards!

Good moderation also gets rid of spam bots
“Good moderation” takes effort and time, which most people running their own blogs might not be interested in dealing with. Unless you are offering yourself to do “good moderation” for people in exchange of access to their comment section, adding a paywall as a barrier is a perfectly valid approach.
