With previous Rexit’s like the API debarcle etc. many users were left looking for an alternative, but with decision fatigue and bad UX etc. most did not find the Fediverse a viable option.
What needs to still improve, how can we be ready this time?
I have a 1Gbps connection and a few TBs of storage to contribute with - technically - but I don’t have the time to moderate…
Unfortunately Those kind of resources cannot be really used unless you’re very trusted by an admin
I understand. But also, on a personal level, I don’t know how I would deal with legal matters if and when people started sharing illegal data on my server. So, that’s another obstacle.
I’ve been doing something that could be called preparing. I’ve been messing with this idea for decentralizing the user identity there by decoupling the posts and users from the platform and even potentially eliminating the concept of a platform.
I called it userless because there are no users in the database.
Tbh I’d like for this to gain some smidgen of use, it’s more of a technical explanation for me atm.
Is there already a live instance?
So it’s sort of a general use tripcode system? It’s an interesting concept, what do you imagine the front end for such a system looking like, if you’re moving away from the concept of a platform?
So far I’ve created a 4chan and Reddit clone. I’m also planning a peer to peer web app, and a standalone aggregator software written in flutter dart.
Edit: just read up on tripcodes, it’s primitive and elegant, I like it.
