What’s the state of Poland, though?
And yet they never seem to want to move to china or russia.
Denying? That’s outright praise.
This shit is so embarrassing
This is a factor in why I really want kbin/mbin to succeed. I also think it has the potential to be the better platform, but only time will tell.
I think both kinda suck, so I’m making my own that’s completely distributed instead of federated. That way hosting costs are near zero (just need some P2P nodes and a download server) and scaling to higher user counts should be automatic if I build it right.
The problem is that building it right is hard, and I don’t have a ton of time.
Not yet, but I’ll definitely post something when I get to a point where I’m ready to share the code. I definitely want it to be open source, I just want enough functionality there so the long term vision is clear.
But here’s some details of what I’m trying to achieve:
- web of trust-based moderation - no “mods,” only metadata from people you trust (upvotes, downvotes, blocks, etc)
- all storage on devices of users of the service - the more storage you provide, the better your experience; your preferred communities have first priority, but everyone stores something random from the service
- text posts only, at least to start - images/videos need to be hosted elsewhere
I’m building it initially as a desktop app, but I’ll port it later to mobile and maybe web (still trying to figure out how web would work; maybe some notion of instances?).
I’m hoping to bridge to lemmy with an ActivityPub service to get content, but I’m not working on that until the above is ready.
You mean scuttlebutt? Or something with content addressing like a fork of bluesky?
