I need some legal advice here, I was going to make a community organization, but my father told me that I have to register the name. but I don't wanna use any kind of personal information for that for privacy reasons.

Is it possible to not give out personal info whilst registering an organization? and if not, do I really need to legally register the organization?

In this day and age you can prove that you're the person by using PGP/GPG, I thought it might be possible. but let me know.

seems rather odd to not have this functionality in the first place, or is it just deliberately made that way?

with all the choices I have, I don't really know what to choose, there is Matrix, Signal, Briar, Jami, and alot of other privacy focused messenger app that I haven't even heard of.

need to discuss things with people on the internet, mostly people who already knows privacy stuff.

I need to choose one that's the most popular one to avoid having people making accounts, what's the most commonly used (private) messenger app?

I saw /c/writing yet there wasn't too much interesting things going on there, basically still a dead sub. so I had the intent of making a sub with a self sustaining idea, in hopes that I'll create at least one active writing community on Lemmy, (I took the inspiration from reddit ofc.)

Anyone who wants to create writing prompts should join and post your writing prompts there. we currently have 0 prompts, so I expect writers on lemmy to better be making prompts immediately. let's make the sub active everyone!!

oh and also, we don't have an icon for this sublemmy, if anyone wants to recommend an icon, or even make one themselves, please, post it somewhere on that sub or message me.

: If you aren't the original creator of the prompt, please don't go stealing stuff on reddit lol

this community has a sole goal of making the fediverse big enough to compete with popular social media platforms of today, and even replacing them altogether as our endgame.

it's as though seems like were trying something impossible here, regardless:

TL;DR; if anyone can come up with a good name for this community, please post it in the comments.

so far we have:

• 24 Hours of Fediverse
• Fediverse World Tour
• fed up!
• D-central

edit; this is not just for a lemmy community. as mentioned below, we have a wide variety of things that were gonna do in the future. so were not just confined to a sublemmy, obviously. more like a community organization. see the previous post.

a continuation from the previous post; https://lemmy.ml/post/56944

I'm an advocate for privacy, and anti-censorship(not that I'm a political person, but I personally think that one entity controlling everything could make somewhat of a rat box society), I'm confident that the fediverse platforms would one day be large enough to compete with popular sites like Twitter, Reddit, Youtube, etc. (given enough time for the website design/attractiveness, and user-friendliness, features, etc. to mature. )

But I feel like we won't be achieving that reality anytime soon. at least in my speculations. if you look at the statistics, mastodon is 100x smaller than twitter, and also the fediverse gained almost 25% more users (which is just under a million) which is great but not enough. some viral impact, or a bigger influence is needed to get that number up.

TL;DR, the question; Is there some good ideas, marketing ideas, or anything conventional or non-conventional, that could help us gain more users?

Open to anything, as long as It's possible to do, look outside the box, creative answers are very welcome.

some of the ideas so far;

• [Dev Project] a Fediverse Game Store, with payment features, etc.

• [Dev Project] Fediverse Forums Platform

• [Dev project] making a fediverse search engine

• [Dev project] ActivityPub Compliant Wordpress (as the First CMS target)

• [bot] a meme bot for giving user points for reposting fediverse memes.

• [fediverse feature request] Option to make watermarked image to crosspost.

• [Community] Fediverse Youtube channel for fediverse related content. (Creator Awards, News, Podcast, and shoutouts to fediverse creators)

• [Community] our own meme boards (is there something we can use that's similar to 4chan?)

• [Community] A page for lists of things that people can do to promote the fediverse

• [Community] A page for a detailed-comparison of Fediverse platforms and Corporate platforms, to serve as a guide to the developers of Fediverse. more info

• [Microblogging] user experience related Improvements, etc. see thread

Tags; [Community] [Dev Project] [Bot] [feature request] ...

edit: I'm going to start a community organization based on this... if you have ideas for the name of our community, please post it here; https://lemmy.ml/post/56996

Thank you all for your input, I'll try to summarize what we just discussed later, also thank you for participating in this discussion, I'll have some of the ideas put into motion in the near future.

please continue posting your ideas here if you have some, maybe something useful can come up for the community to use
