What project you think #fediverse is missing the most currently? 🤔
@mbajur the most requested thing is a dating platform which actually values privacy and doesn't run out the back door with your face ID to sell to third parties and send to the government
there's already a hashtag used by people who keep asking for it, I forget what. fedi-date? fedi-match? its some kind of pun because we love those
@normjess Privacy is a tricky thing when it comes to fediverse. Also, sounds veeeery ambitious, i can imagine running a dating site/app comes with a tons of challenges and a massive amount of moderation work. But i get it, makes total sense
@mbajur yeah, the second most requested thing is a 'messenger' that's easy access and privacy focused too
the popular ones claiming to be privacy focused still use phone numbers and geo-location and stuff, and pass data on for cash
not sure quite what smaller projects to suggest
is there a good blogging platform on the fediverse? I dunno, give me a day or two and perhaps I'll come back with something better
@normjess sure, take your time 😊 I suppose ghost and wordpress are pretty solid? There is also plume but they seem a bit stale
@mbajur This is gonna sound like a joke but I genuinely think a pinterest that is functional and usable (and doesn't clog search results, people understandably hate that about pinterest) would be really cool. I LIKED pinterest before it just went to shit, and there is nothing that replicates the pinboard vibe for me
@lapis the most problematic and potentially unrealistic thing to replicate would probably be the recommendation algorithm + maybe costs of hosting it all
@mbajur pixabay alternative perhaps?
