• Why social platforms should work more like email. Email is a stable, decentralized technology that spurs interoperability and competition, presenting a model for other internet technologies.

  Yes, were it not for the "email is great" part I think I would agree with the sentiment of the article. In fact the idea of having intercompatible social network already exists, I think it is called a federated social network, see https://feneas.org/. The idea hasn't really taken off yet because there is more to social media than just data exchange (think about moderation etc...), but I don't believe Facebook and... Source: almost 3 years ago

• As of Augest 2021 what is in your opinion the best reddit alternative and why? what are it's best qualities?

You could still replace the URL with a proprietary codebase or rewrite some of the code before re-licensing so it's not bullet proof. The best defense I can think off is having it be hosted by some volunteer led non profit (something like feneas ) so it won't get sold off. Source: almost 3 years ago

• I am hosting free, open-source, privacy respecting web services! (Searx, Invidious, Matrix, etc)

  I think it would be better to collaborate with some existing organisations like disroot or feneas, having a organisation with multiple maintainers is useful if someone decides to quit (which is normal, any contribution is great). So the instance does not go down. Existing organisations are also more well known. Source: about 3 years ago

• Coding on a Chromebook

• Can I contribute to a redesign of the Debian website?

  Can't figure out debian.org? Then you probably won't figure out the distribution either. The website is perfectly fine, if you know how to read and think. They have mainly been focusing on making Debian stable, so it's more about reading manuals than expecting user-friendliness from it. There's loads of userfriendly-focused linux distributions out there. Source: 11 months ago
