Hello saiditors how is things going? I have read you have been having some problems with the site. Something about magnora7 disappearing and missing payments for the hosting. I have really liked here, I particularly like d3rr and my interactions with him ;-) but these problems and some others I

I like the concept of discussions.app, and I think decentralized social media is the future of free speech online. Whenever I've tried it out though I was disappointed with the layout and the content available. I've got an account and will keep following the project, hopefully it becomes more active with content and communities I'd like to participate in.

Even though the creator is MIA, I still visit the federated https://notabug.io/ and follow some other projects such as lemmy and aether. I've tried to get into other fediverse social media such as mastodon, pleroma etc but I'm not a huge fan of the twitter format and then of course you have the network effect so it's hard to get involved in a community where there isn't already content you want to see.

nab is great but needs moderation which never got finished and wont without a dev.

Discussions has an updated UI check it out.

I too am interested in these many projects I am not sure storing on a blockchain is the solution something like torrent or ipfs would be better.

I am not a fan of twitter style at all either.

Federation has big flaws, p2p is the ideal solution. Are you on matrix?

I don't know enough about any of this to speak authoritatively, but on this I'd agree 100%, from what little I do know. Also: "sharding", like partial torrenting + cumulative blockchain.

The problem I see with Federating is the partisan bubbles. IMO they should all try to share one DB and add customizable filters to it via strong metatags and data arrays and analysis to help form the filter groups.

This is what discussions.app is doing. All moderation is filters produced by users the new filter groups is called communities.

Federation is just little kingdoms of centralization and yes they form bubbles.

Yes sharding is a good idea and torrents too. Raddi uses sharding and optin moderation but its still in alpha.

Discussions.app is the only working actively developed platform that is trying this stuff.

Neat stuff.

Are you on the Discussions.app team?

It does seem to have potential. Found this handy flowchart while perusing!

Is this a response to something else?

No. Just something I stumbled upon while checking discussions.app. Just being my usual random self.
