A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Compared against the predominant incumbent social media platforms, the fediverse is very small.

Facebook has like many thousands or even hundreds of thousands really dead accounts ( of dead people ), some of those accounts are just Oculus accounts as they got forced to create a facebook account, but i think those are very low in the hundreds or with low probability in the thousands.

LinkedIn isnt really a social network for me, its rather you state your past work and current work only then to get invited to 6 sessions of coding reviews.

Twitch is a entertainment platform ( like youtube ), not social media.

Slowly and steadily. This platform has potential.

Is userbase proportional to area or radius?

Surprised a boring platform like LinkedIn has that many users.

[–] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Fuck LinkedIn. It's just gross, my feed is just full of shilling.

Why Facebook sucks. With those numbers you’re bound to have hundreds of millions of trolls and stochastic terrorists.

I wonder how many users Matrix has?

I'd be interested to see how different it would look if we only counted average active daily users

if the fediverse gets to hundreds of millions of users, we'd better hope that we solve for moderation.

I don’t care how big or small it is, as long as it remains real.

I believe I’ve seen more organic conversation in the fediverse than I have on any other platform.

It’s either bots, ads or ad bots everywhere else.

Being tiny makes it less appealing to the megacorp cunts that would want to ruin it.

We can only imagine how the internet was to the natives before the eternal September.
