last activity

Current activity

  • Reviewing the implementation

Base of the idea

  • Social media is people talking to each other in the digital space
  • and it should adhere to the same rules for people talking in real life

Problem

  • Accelerate innovation: photographers Exif data and example
  • Walled garden: I would like to share my videos once to appear on all my social applications
  • Censorship: especially at the times of large conflicts
  • Ads
  • Algorithm
  • Control
  • Data travels over the internet although there is no need for that
  • Data leak

What it is not

  • Not for profit

Challenges

  • Self-hosting is still expensive, especially for videos
  • P2P protocols are an implementation hassle and not reliable in some networks
  • Machines are not 100% connected to the internet yet
