I thought I deleted this post... oh well. I think I'll go with XMPP/Matrix combination. thanks for the recommendation.

the thing is, this thing is not just for lemmy. I'm looking for a name that we could use universally for our community. (since were gonna do github projects, have our own website, a youtube/peertube channel, etc. ... maybe even take over the world lol, just joking :) )

I get all of what you said, but, I don't think we should be so pessimistic about it. if things are depressing, instead of accepting it, you should keep moving forward, and let it be the drive to change what shitty reality is given to people like us.

All it needs is a movement, or a driving force of some passionate people. or even, it would start with just one person, a madman who wants to lead others to an objective that is seemingly close to impossible. It could even be you, I believe anyone with a working brain, even if he's more dumb than anyone in this world, could be the one who solves the world's most complicated problem.

Moreover, there is a few ideas up here that no one on earth has attempted, see the problem? we have too much people not doing anything despite complaining about their problems. less then 1% of us actually make a change.

Well, to make it seem less impossible to some people. these corporate companies are ran by humans like you and me, they have weaknesses and flaws. if even they can do it then why shouldn't we?

one of my favorite quotes;

“Real change is difficult at the beginning. Without the familiar to rely upon, you may not in as much command as you had once been. When things are not going your way, you will start doubting yourself. Stay positive, keep the faith, and keep moving forward – your breakthrough may be just around the corner.”

― Roy T. Bennett

I suggest that we all keep our heads up, and keep trying, until we get there.

noted. I'll add that to the list.

noted :)

Noted. WordPress seems like a good target for Fediverse.

Second, the feed. Now, the local/federated timeline is a feed, but the personal feed needs to be worked on too. We need accounts that retoot a lot, have a variety of topics, and some that talk about how mastodon works. I can think of a few already. Now I know that we wanna move away from the like culture, so have these accounts be handled by a group instead of a user only.

this would depend on who owns the most followed account based on topics. it might be a group or a user. No one can know for sure. this local feed problem can be solved with your first point, as explained earlier, get them to follow people/things from certain topics.

I'm still thinking of how that feature could be implemented on a federated platform, since it seems like it could be used to feature accounts. that's somewhat a corporate thing to do. maybe we could settle for the most popular/relevant accounts.

speaking of games, I have also some ideas;

we should make a forums platform for said game companies, based on ActivityPub.

or maybe even make a game store you can sign up with fediverse accounts like a "Sign Up with Fediverse"

making the game store themselves a fediverse platform is another crazy idea.

so basically this;

• make a first stop signup Instance so people wouldn't get the the paradox of choice.

( I would ask joinmastodon to avoid said paradox of choice, maybe making a third button for people to just make an account right away)

• get users to follow topics, two ways;
  • first signup, ask users what topics they're interested in, then proceed to suggest people to follow. or/and
  • make a list (build into mastodon, etc.) of people to follow based on certain topics
• making it easy for people to switch servers or host their own instance (so they can switch from that first-stop instance)
• making self-hosting instances easy, like yunohost as an example.

I doubt most people like to use the rss. they like to use social media because of the interaction with the content creators. I myself use the rss but for anonymity, not interaction. because rss lacks that. also there's no (website) styles built into rss, which is a cool thing if that exists.

(also to point out, this is more like a privacy thing. RSS is It's own thing. nothing to do with the Fediverse.)

thanks for the idea though, I would really like it if more content creators use rss.

what @[email protected] just said.

also I don't think I'll be stopping, because, well, I have a good enough reason to do this. it has to do with my career path. so if anyone want to stop me now, uhh... good luck with that

EDIT: I actually had a similar idea to OP a few months ago and I already created [email protected] but I got sidetracked by IRL things. I would be glad to give someone else a mod role if anyone is interested

let's work together then. I really need someone I can trust to handle the hosting account (because of my age), and I kind of have plans that would need some assistance. we can share ideas if you want to.
