Researchers have developed a novel vaccine that targets senescence-associated glycoprotein (SAGP) expressed in inflamed brain cells linked to Alzheimer's disease. When tested in mice, the vaccine reduced amyloid deposits, decreased inflammatory biomarkers, and improved the animals' awareness of their surroundings. This suggests the vaccine may lessen disease symptoms. The vaccine targets activated microglia cells which play a role in brain inflammation that can worsen cognitive decline. By removing toxic microglia, the vaccine may control inflammation and ultimately repair deficits suffered in Alzheimer's disease. If successful in humans, the vaccine could be a major step forward in delaying or preventing the disease.
Or subscription, or freemium, or merch, or raffles. Lots of options beyond that even.

So yes, eventually it would be the end of the world. Within a decade or two the site would go to hell. We're seeing it already with most ad based sites. People are complaining Google is getting bad. We already know that Reddit is. That's why most of us are here. News sites go to shit, when they distort themselves for advertisers. Example after example of advertising, making site after site worse over time.
The advertising model, is the original sin of the internet.
We need to find another way.
You are in a way. Just not only that.
Favourite and Bookmark are absolutely different things. They're two different lists for you to use as you see fit.
Neither of them is a Like though. I'm not sure that fact is really debatable.
Mastodon doesn't have Likes at all.
The star you're referring to is Favorite. Those go into your Favorite list. So you can refer back to them more easily.

A unified API and a single login, are two separate things.
A single federated authentication could be a good idea. But the various federated services are different enough that they should have different APIs.
I do. Any questions?
It's beautiful!
