Yep, many people forget GitHub was trying to be Facebook but for coders from the very start. Back in late 2000s when FB was the hottest startup everyone was trying to do "the Facebook of X" knockoffs.
- MonkeyMalarky 4y agoNow we need a Facebook for sharing photos, videos, events and posts with our friends and adjacent social circles.
- genewitch 4y agoFediverse on a curated homeserver is getting there. Or having importable killfiles
- d0mine 4y ago- photos :: instagram - videos :: tiktok, youtube - posts :: HN, reddit, dev.to, substack, mailing lists (yes, people still use those) - events :: messengers (telegram, whatsapp, etc), email.
- TeMPOraL 4y agoMissing from all these is a social network of "our friends and adjacent social circles". And perhaps, on top of it, a service aggregating output of all the ones you listed, so as a user, I can have (for a lack of better term) "people-first" mode of interaction. By this I mean, I want it to answer the question, "what have X been up to recently?", where X is a scope I can alter - from "all my friends" to "a particular group" to "particular friend". I.e. what Facebook used to be, before the "great social network unbundling".
