Pretty much in the title. Maybe you wouldn't even use it, but would like to simply see it exist for the sake of having a federated alternative.

For me, it'd be the following:

  • LinkedIn
  • Meetup
  • Tiktok

I am on the first two, but would prefer a federated alternative. I'm not on Tiktok, but would like to see a federated alternative.

I'll admit these might not be a good idea. But as a thought experiment, I'd be curious about the community weigh in on what you all think this might look like.

Doubled on FA. Great repository for artwork but their moderation is just terrible. If you're in the 3rd world you can get banned permanently with no warning for a single mistake, yet there's known groomers on there who the admins routinely protect no matter how many times they fuck up. And the alternatives aren't any better, with most of them dying on the hill of allowing loli shit and AI art so that's all that ever gets posted.

EDIT: and after they moved their forums to discord the entire website became radioactive causing tons of people, including myself, to leave.

I didn't know about the third world thing. Gee.
