Actually I'd rather prefer someone to not invent the next Facebook. It reveals the human trait that despite best intentions, when shareholders get involved, cash is king regardless of the ethical stance the company supposedly takes.

- Casseres 13y agoGood point. In my mind, ideally the next big social media platform will be P2P and open source. I have some ideas on how this might work and the features this would include, but I've never hashed them out since my programming ability doesn't approach the level required for such an undertaking. Maybe I will as a thought experiment and publish my ideas so that anyone can use them.
- achamayou 13y agoAre you aware of Diaspora ? It's both distributed and open source.
- Casseres 13y agoYes, but it doesn't solve everything and it's not available to everyone.
- dredmorbius 13y agoIt addresses a few needs. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. And there are numerous nodes you can create an account on -- no need to be self-hosting. Though with FreedomBox, that would actually be pretty tenable.
- ta_delallthings 13y agoDiaspora is a poor attempt at copying facebook, it's nothing like the distributed I have in mind, which would be easy to use encrypted self-hosting and not tied to a specific network/website/technology.
- captainbenises 13y agoSo basically implemented with no technology? Maybe just an idea in your mind?
