Non-existant. Social media is a curse for mankind
Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

A few years back I started working on a P2P-based social media app.
The things I did:
- Pull-based: you don't see anything from people you aren't subbed to.
- Natural vs algorithm-driven growth: Introduce friends instead of shoving randos into every conversation.
- No ads: Servers are expensive. P2P architecture removes (most of) them, so we can afford to run on donations of time and money.
- Community-based publishing: When you share, it's to a community of users you've curated. "Family", "Co-workers", "Cool co-workers", etc
- Community-based moderation: local + shared tags and filters to control what your communities can show you. (E.g. Block all #politics posts from Uncle Fergulous and all #soblessed posts everywhere. Sub to other users' tags to make them part of your personal moderation team)
- Data Ownership: I don't want your data. You host it. You own it.
- Right to be Forgotten: Automatically delete older posts (This is impossible to achieve completely, but having it as the default makes casual abuse harder)
- Pseudonymous: I don't care who you are. If the FBI cares, they may be able to track you though.
