Subject: Any interest in creating an nnfediverse backend?
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2020 17:59:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <86r1qr6u9n.fsf@dod.no> (raw)
Is there any interest in creating one, or more, backend(s) for "the
fediverse"?
"The fediverse" is a common term for services that aim to replace
today's social media with decentralized alternatives.
I have tried two of them:
1. The twitter replacement mastodon
2. The facebook replacement diaspora
Both of them are based on having no centralized node, but instead having
decentralized server that talk to other servers and exchange postings
(similar to USENET).
Not too many people on either service right now. This means that there
are fewer crazies there than on "mainstream social media". It also
means that they are less likely to become a time thief.
Both services have a server side and a web client running in the
browser.
It's the web client I'm thinking could be replaced by a Gnus backend.
Thoughts...?
