It seems all the fediverse apps are modeled on Twitter or Social Media - everybody posts stuff and then you consume a feed. To be honest, it feels like work for me to check Facebook or Twitter nowadays. I wish there was an app more like MySpace or early Facebook [1]. You have your own page that you carefully curate, list your hobbies and favorite bands and whatever, and you can connect with friends and browse their pages and maybe leave a message there. I think this other model would also get around the problem of network effects - a landing page or personal homepage works even if you don't have connections yet. -- [1] Or, if you went to university in Germany in the 2000s, the learning platform Stud.IP. My classmates and I spent countless hours in the forums, decorating our user pages, and chatting. And it was heavily gamified, you got XP for every action and we were all trying to level up. I still think of this as close to an ideal "social network" app. |
