I never got into mastodon because I couldn’t connect multiple instances. I like this a lot about Lemmy so far (just here for a few minutes though).
Reading about the fediverse got me thinking. What other use cases could you think of? Maybe outside social media?
Would a fediverse password manager be more or less secure than some company owned pm?
How about “clones” of other social media like FB and Insta, TikTok?
What about a blogging community like Medium?
Other ideas?
Its still early. It needs time to mature.
I’d like to see a GitHub clone for the Fediverse that enabled the cross-instance forking of code. The recent goings-on with the FOSS Invidious make me worry about the future of all open-source software that tries to allow us some level of privacy. Putting it on a distributed network would be extremely beneficial to prevent megacorps from bullying such projects out of existence.
