What's the Facebook alternative? Also blue sky is by far the closest to replacing Twitter with millions of users

Ideally it would be hosted in the EU and thus only things illegal there would be enforced.

Unless peertube has a way to properly monetize and at a much higher rate it's not beating YouTube which in conjunction will sponsors and patreon is doing great for creators. pixelfed has potential

Lemmy.com Mastodon.com ... If those were the front pages that curated the top 25 posts and top 25 sub groups in the last 24 hours and it was a space where you could search for the groups you fit into or are interested in. No more confusing mess.

Just to be clear each site, Lemmy, Mastodon.... Would have it's own front page under this idea.

A group of people who would all need to agree before action, a mini government of sorts, maybe elected idk but its the only way to gain a real foothold. The people running it are only supposed to act if illegal activity is going on and they are contacted by authorities in the appropriate jurisdiction.

Because social media is controlled by big corporations and thats why they are such shit. Once Reddit, Twitter and Facebook falls and if it falls to the fediverse it will be controlled by the average joe not political money motivated operatives

Decentralization is obviously the big thing about the Fediverse but is it TOO decentralized to gain traction?

There is no reason why they have to be fully separate domains in the same branch. You can set up a system of fully independent moderation and extreme levels of customization while having them all on one site with a front page that allows everyone to see whats popular.

A front page wouldn't prevent individual subgroups from requiring approval to join, it wouldn't prevent subgroups from banning those it doesn't want. It doesn't prevent users from blocking subgroups that it doesn't want to see on the front page.

What would be most useful is that now someone could create an account on the Reddit, Twitter, Facebook(?) alternatives and give them access to every community, and then allow each community to set its own rules, and customize its own to be unique while having a unified product to "sell" and get people to move.

Hot take? Blue Sky should be worked with to join the Fediverse as the twitter alternative and Mastodon should work to be the Facebook alternative

TLDR: One front page and general site for Lemmy, Mastodon....and to sign up and see whats popular and then have fully independent subgroups.

Should we allow people to transfer their reddit account to this site? in c/[email protected]
