I use FB because my family is on their.
My feed is almost entirely not my family, but “suggested” posts, and it made me realize I really hope something becomes popular to replace FB next and my family moves there.
What type of site do you hope becomes popular on the fediverse next?
I should note that the marketplace idea would be limited to legal items of course.
How? There’s no way babysitting something like this to keep it to legal stuff wouldn’t be be a full-time multi-person job, and that’s before even starting to consider different legalities for different places.
I mean easy, if you see a listing for “heroin” on your instance, ban the acct, hell report their IP if you want. This isn’t alphabay, there are already better marketplaces for heroin. To your point, how does lemmy exist with CSAM, isn’t that a full time job?
So people selling drugs will just call them something that isn’t filtered or known to all the squares, just like they have done for decades on Craigslist.
It’s easy to say a marketplace app will be limited to legal stuff, but making that happen in reality is no simple prospect and federating it won’t make it any simpler.
