Pretty much in the title. Maybe you wouldn't even use it, but would like to simply see it exist for the sake of having a federated alternative.
For me, it'd be the following:
- Meetup
- Tiktok
I am on the first two, but would prefer a federated alternative. I'm not on Tiktok, but would like to see a federated alternative.
I'll admit these might not be a good idea. But as a thought experiment, I'd be curious about the community weigh in on what you all think this might look like.
Boorus ought to be halfway there. They're content-centric and high-bandwidth, they tend to have a theme, and they live or die by worthwhile tagging. But they're not a feed, the way most federated platforms have been. They are not social media in any sense. They're image hosts, minus any the incentive to create attention-sucking antipatterns.
Maybe with a more unified user experience - and ideally some P2P elements to make hosting cheaper and sturdier - we could fucking finally have a place that just hosts drawings. We're a quarter of the way into the twenty-first century and it is absurd that every gallery site has some arbitrary limits on what content is too weird.
Tumblr used to be the exception, until Apple destroyed them. Bastards.
I thought it was Yahoo that destroyed Tumblr, back when they bought it and banned porn
Five years apart.
