I'm starting a project IRL and I'd like your input.Free and open social media. By open I mean seriously fucking open. Not only is the source code open, but people can actually visit the headquarters, see the server room, talk with the developers and hang out. It's not a company, but a hobby group. An open lab. A community of people who want to give the Internet BACK to the people. It's insane that the Internet, which by default is a people thing, is owned by billionaires and we have ZERO SAY in its content. Zero say.So the next time you crinkle your nose and say you dont like some arbitrary thing about my web page, just get your ass over here and change border-radius:12px to 0px then.
>>107237772>but people can actually visit the headquarters, see the server roomImagine the police raids.
Try not posting your retarded ideas right after doing whippets OP
>>107237962The idea is based.
>>107237772>visit the headquarters, see the server room, talk with the developersOP this literally makes Joan make mustard gas
It was a joke obviously open access is necessary to recalibrate your quantum narrative
The Internet unironically belongs to the people and not to corporationsIt's laughable that we're just powerless end users and have to accept whatever They do to the sites we use>accept cookies or pay<okay...
>>107237772So how do you intend to comply to any laws with this, provided no company feels like standing in your way?
>>107244694What laws would it have to comply with? A non-profit FOSS site doesnt collect or process any data from the users because it doesn't have to.The biggest problem I see is people posting copyrighted material on there, which is what everyone does everywhere. People rarely post OC.
>>107237772>Free and open social media. By open I mean seriously fucking open. Not only is the source code openMake a fediverse instance
>>107244707>What laws would it have to comply with?Copyright bs as you mentioned, "hateful speech" garbage, and the mandatory surveillance state cancer laws they're currently developing which inevitably force you to collect data anyways. And this is isn't even mentioning the amount manufactured malice and misuse you'll get from it if a company does notice you and if you do succeed they sure fucking will.
>>107244728I'm a Linux programmer and I struggle to understand how to use Mastodon, Fediverse and Matrix.From this I gathered that if I struggle to use them, they will never gain traction.
>>107237772So you want a WEF propaganda platform where you can censor anyone who disagrees with your death cult propaganda
>>107244971Why do you always lie about my ideas so you can get them cancelled right at the start?It's weird. What's your agenda?Whenever I make FOSS, people kill it right off the bat. But if I make some crap like a commercial file upload service, you give me the thumbs up.
>>107237772pull request rejected because you are not part of my discord circlejerk
>>107245182I hate discord so much. Discord and Reddit ruined the Internet because every niche community now resides under their roof
>>107244903If they gain traction, they will be poisoned feds. This "everybody pitches in for unicorns and rainbows" shit doesn't ever work anywhere. Open systems can't survive mass appeal because most people are too stupid to have a custodial relationship with an abstract concept.
>>107245752poisoned by the feds*
>>107245027FOSS social media would only ever appeal to people that are on open platforms that are better than your retard slop, and they probably do so because they're degenerate criminals who would not otherwise get away with their crimes or be capable of finding conspirators.
>>107245806>FOSS social media would only ever appeal to people that are on open platforms that are better than your retard slopSo only one FOSS site is allowed to exist? (aka the elusive "best site") Sounds like centralization to me.>they probably do so because they're degenerate criminals who would not otherwise get away with their crimes or be capable of finding conspiratorsI dunno man your first argument was ok but this... So you're a pedo if you don't want to pay for social media and watch ads? I just don't want to become a product of capitalism and watch ads if I post text online.
>>107237772>...but if you say the heckin n-worderino then you're a nazi and you get doxxed banned canceledthis is how every open social shit ends
>>107237772Mastodon tried doing this, you'll be less relevant than them
>>107237772social media was doomed from the start. you cannot socialise over the internet
>>107246286>Mastodon tried doing this, you'll be less relevant than themMastodont didnt get off the ground because it's difficult to understand and useIt's not a social media site, it's a complex system and its parts are hosted by the users.Normies will never adopt something that isn't simple to understand, or requires effort on their part. I mean, do you use it yourself? We're /g/ Linux fags and even we dont use Mastodon. Nobody does.My site is just a super simple social media site without capitalism. You just open the site, read posts, make posts. That's it. I think that's how it should be done. Matrix, Fediverse, Mastodont etc are overthinking things. I thought about this for years, this isnt something I say lightly.
>>107246491>social media itself is a flawed conceptThis could also be true.I might be trying to rationalize something that is irrational at the core.I often think about this. Making an actually smart social media site could be like making a Christian night club. It's just a paradox in itself.
>>107247829federated sites are supposedly more censorship resistant as they remove the single point of failure a regular site has, obviously in reality that falls apart as the people operating them are some of the most censorious on the internet
>>107248016This is what usually happens:>people dont like the hubs / channels they're on>they make their own>everyone has their own private space with 1 user
